Ball in memory of Frankie McFall

Friday 19th March 2010, 11:50AM GMT.

A ball in memory of Oswestry teenager Frankie McFall is being held in the town tonight.

Oswestry School’s planned Valentine’s Ball was postponed in the wake of the death of 18-year-old Frankie in a tragedy that shook the town. But now the event has been rearranged and is being held at the Walls Restaurant.

The popular teenager and her mother, Mrs Sue McFall, were found dead at the home in Hampton Road in the early hours of February 5. A few hours later her father, Hugh McFall, was found dead at his business premises in St Martins.

It is believed Mr McFall killed his wife and daughter before taking his own life. A spokesman for the school said: “Money raised will be going to a charity which provides medical aid to Nepal.

“We thought this was very fitting as Frankie wanted to help the charity during her gap year.”

“We hope that by raising pounds for something close to Frankie’s heart something positive can come from this dreadful tragedy.”

Inquests on Mr and Mrs McFall and Frankie will be held at a later date which it is hoped will explain the background to the tragedy.

Hundreds of people last week attended memorial services for Mrs McFall and her daughter in Oswestry and family and friends also attended a separate memorial service for Mr McFall in Weston Rhyn.
