Tragedy as mother is found hanged at Earl of Pembroke’s Wilton Estate days after daughter’s suicide

A mother was found hanged at the Earl of Pembroke’s Wilton Estate just days after her daughter killed herself.

Beverley Dickenson, 49, was found in a garage on the grounds of the 14,500-acre estate in Wiltshire where she worked as a gardener by her husband David on June 17.

She was found just a week after she identified the body of her 26-year-old daughter Charlotte Dunne who was found dead in Wilton, Salisbury.

Miss Dunne’s brother, Joe, told the Times: ‘Believe me, you can never tell when someone is going to do it. My sister was fine, so was my mum. There was nothing to be aware about.’

Friends of the family have now raised more than £5,200 to cover the funeral costs.

A message from Miss Dunne’s father Neil on the Facebook fundraising page said: ‘Myself, Joe and the whole family would like to say a big thank you for the love we have received through this difficult time. 

‘We have felt an amazing amount of kindness of from those of you who knew Charlotte, it is clear to see that she touched so many lives.’

He added: ‘It is in times like these that we realise just how generous people can be. It really has made a huge impact and means that we can give Charlotte the day that she deserves.’

Samantha Stephens, who set up the fundraiser with an original goal of £3,000, said: ‘Charlotte was caring, kind, funny and beautiful and I know that we will all miss her deeply. 

It is so important now to cherish the wonderful memories we shared with her, and to remember that this isn’t goodbye forever.’

Both inquests have now been adjourned.
