THE funeral of shooting victims Julia and William Pemberton is due to take place tomorrow.

They were killed by Allan Pemberton, who used to work for Swindon-based Allied Dunbar. He shot his estranged wife and his teenage son dead at their Berkshire home last month before turning the gun on himself.

The couple's daughter, Laura, escaped the tragedy because she was away at university.

The 19-year-old is currently being cared for in Swindon by her grandmother.

Tomorrow's service will be held at St Francis de Sales Church in Wash Common in Upper Woolhampton near Reading at 10.30am and will be taken by parish priest Father Paul Townsend.

Last month Laura, who is studying at Cambridge University, revealed that her father had moved out following a court injunction for threatening to kill her mother more than a year before the massacre at the couple's £1m home in Hermitage near Newbury.

He killed William, 17, on the driveway before going inside and shooting his wife. He then shot himself.

A post-mortem examination showed that Mrs Pemberton, 47, and William died of gunshot wounds to the chest and stomach while Pemberton died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Pemberton, 48, and his wife met at Southampton University, were married at Holy Rood Church, Swindon, in 1980 and lived for some time in Castle Eaton.
