The headteacher of Epsom College 'made a distressed phone call' to a relative before she and her seven-year-old daughter were shot dead by her husband, according to reports.

Emma Pattison, 45, was found dead with her husband George Pattison, 39, and their daughter Lettie at their home in the grounds of the school in Surrey on Sunday. Mr Pattison is believed to have shot his wife and daughter, before turning the gun on himself.

Some time late on Saturday evening, Mrs Pattison is believed to have called the relative. But by the time the family member arrived, all three were dead.
