DEATH OF A BARONET
Sir Richard Sutton, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, was stabbed to death by his partner’s son last year. Tom, an aspiring artist, knifed his mother too. What drove him? David James Smith explores his troubled family past.
“The judge was understandably damning of Tom’s actions, which were he said ‘grotesquely disproportionate’ to the offending remark made by his mother. It could not be a clearer case of guilt. So I was surprised to discover, during and after the trial, that Tom has retained the compassion and support of many people who have known his family for years, in some cases since long before he was born. They believe the seeds of his actions were sown deep in the past.”
