A headteacher and her seven-year-old daughter who were killed earlier this month will remain inseparable in death as they were in life, their family has said. Emma Pattison and her daughter Lettie are believed to have been murdered by husband and father George Pattison before he took his own life on February 5.
The three were found dead at their home in the grounds of Epsom College in Surrey after Mrs Pattison, 45, made a distressed call to her sister. On Wednesday, relatives of Mrs Pattison and Lettie released a tribute statement through Surrey Police, that said: “To see the esteem in which Emma is held by all who knew her is an enormous comfort.
“She was everything one could hope for in a daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend, teacher and so much more. We are an extremely close family and family was at the centre of Emma and Lettie’s universe. The Epsom College Community had become part of that universe for them both.
