A man has been shot dead in a robbery at his family’s post office in a village in Worcestershire. Craig Hodson-Walker, who was the son of the sub-postmaster was fatally shot in the chest. He was 29.

It is not the first time that the post office, in Fairfield, has been targetted. It was the scene of a previous armed robbery some five years ago.
