Simon Dale was beaten to death in his home, Heath House in Shropshire between 10 and 14 September 1987.

His 55-year-old ex-wife, a Baroness, and two of their children, a 26 year old daughter and 25 year old son, were tried for his murder but acquitted. The charges against the two children were dropped early on in the hearings. However, they were still accused along with their mother and another man, a Baron, of defrauding Simon Dale's mother-in-law, a Lady, and her estate, between 1983 and 1987, for which they were convicted.
