London: A third body has been found at the country mansion destroyed in an arson attack last week, a police spokesman said on Monday.
"We had the remains confirmed as human late last night by a Home Office pathologist and work has now begun to extract the body," said Detective Superintendent Jon Groves, of West Mercia police.
Christopher Foster, 50, his wife Jill, 49, and their 15-year-old daughter Kirstie have not been seen since a fire ripped through their house in Shropshire last Tuesday.
Police said at the weekend they had found Jill Foster's body and that of an unidentified man in the burned-out house.
