The dad is thought to have murdered the mum and daughter in a murder-suicide
On Sunday, February 5, Emma Pattinson, 45, her husband George, 39, and their seven-year-old daughter Lettie were found dead at their homes on the grounds of Epsom College in Surrey on Sunday. Police confirmed they had launched a homicide investigation and said George Pattinson legally owned a gun found at the scene, reports The Mirror.
The 39-year-old accountant's wine business has been described in the MailOnline as 'doomed' and that he's endured a history of business woes. He had most recently set up firm Tanglewood in 2016, and took out a £14,000 director's loan in 2021. Mr Pattison was listed as the sole director for Tanglewood.
His wife Emma, who studied at University of Leeds, had reportedly contacted her sister with concerns about her husband in the hours before the killings. Sadly, when she arrived at the house she found all three members of the family dead. A neighbour also paid tribute to the young girl, telling The Telegraph: "You used to hear her playing in the garden, she was always asking them questions and just seemed like a happy, inquisitive little girl." Another resident said: "She was just a typical, well brought-up, lovely little girl. It’s just tragic."
