Killer In The Family

Send us a textAt 9am on 19 July 2016 Lance Hart took a shotgun to the car park of a Spalding leisure centre swimming pool where his estranged wife and daughter were going for a morning swim. He lay in wait for them under their car until they came out – he shot and killed them both with a single barrelled shotgun and then took his own life. His two sons were working away at the time and had to be told the devastating news about their mother and sister. This is the story of Claire Hart and her daughter Charlotte Hart.
