The Earl of Pembroke’s stepfather was found dead from a shotgun blast to the head in the grounds of one of Britain’s most famous country houses, an inquest heard.
Stuart Wyndham Murray Threipland, 76, died instantly from the shot and was found close to his vehicle in the grounds of 14,000 acre Wilton House, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, on June 12.
His violent death came on the same day his estate and a Scottish castle at Dunbeath were listed for sale by Savills for £25million.
