Police have confirmed the discovery of a missing father's body dumped in a rural Nottinghamshire field, just four days after his son was found dead in a nearby outbuilding. The case is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide that has left a family devastated and a community in shock.
Brian Wright, an 82-year-old pensioner, was located by search teams near Danethorpe Lane following what police described as 'receiving intelligence' about his death. The discovery came after an extensive search operation in the Langford area, where Mr Wright had been reported missing.
Double Tragedy Unfolds
The grim finding follows the earlier discovery of a 52-year-old man's body in an outbuilding off the A1133 in Langford. Police believe this victim to be Charles Wright, Mr Wright's son, though formal identification is still pending.
Nottinghamshire Police have stated they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths, indicating their investigation points toward a murder-suicide scenario. Specially trained officers are supporting the Wright family's next-of-kin during this devastating time.

DCI Ruby Burrow of Nottinghamshire Police addressed the media, describing the situation as 'a deeply tragic case' and confirming that support for family members remains their priority. She expressed gratitude to the public and search teams who assisted in locating Brian Wright after he went missing.
The investigation continues with post-mortem examinations and formal identifications scheduled to take place. A file will be prepared for the coroner as authorities work to establish the full circumstances surrounding this family tragedy that has shaken the local community.
