In February 2010, Susan McFall and her 18 year old daughter Francesca Frankie McFall were killed by husband and father Hugh McFall.

Apparently fearing the loss of his business and social and financial failure, McFall beat his wife and daughter to death before taking his own life. He called 999 before he took his own life and police attended the family home very quickly.

Neighbours and family couldn’t believe that McFall did what he did.

This is the story of the McFall family.
