Richard Lexington Sutton Wiki - Richard Lexington Sutton Biography
Sir Richard Lexington Sutton, the 9th Baronet, was head of the Sutton family, owning around 7,000 acres of land in Dorset, Berkshire, London, Lincolnshire, and Aberdeenshire. As well as owning huge swathes of land, he also owned a hotel empire. The 83-year-old had bought his Moorhill country estate in Dorset in 2014 for £1.4million. One local resident said Sir Richard was a long-term resident of Higher Langham, but "was a private person who did not engage much" with the tiny community of around 200 people. Sir Richard's flagship hotels were the Sheraton Grand and the Athenaeum, both on London’s prestigious Piccadilly. His Settled Estates bought the leasehold on the five-star Sheraton in 2014. The following year it was given a multi-million-pound refit. Suites at the art deco hotel cost up to £1,500 a night. Sir Richard also owned three high-end MGallery hotels in Bath, Cheltenham and Windsor. Another of his firms owns a large farming estate in the Lincolnshire Wolds and 1,800 acres with livestock and arable crops around Stockcross, Berks. One of the village’s pubs, The Lord Lyon, was named after a Sutton family horse that in 1866 won racing’s Triple Crown — the Derby, St Leger and 2,000 Guineas.

Suspect
Meanwhile, the suspect had fled, triggering a police operation involving six forces. The car was tracked after it left Dorset then sped across Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey. Helicopters were also scrambled as the car made its way at high speed towards London. A team of crack SCO19 firearms officers in an armed response vehicle then moved in on it at 10.30pm in Hammersmith, West London. They swung in front of the Range Rover, forcing it to stop. When officers pulled the driver from the vehicle, they had to carry out immediate first aid on him and an ambulance was called. The Met Police said: “When they approached the vehicle, officers discovered that the lone male occupant had sustained a number of serious injuries.” Dorset Police said the man was known to the victims. Witness Maureen Kane, 50, who was at home when the incident occurred, claims up to 40 “armed” police officers swarmed the area. Maureen said: “I just heard a loud screech of cars swerving and then crash sounds. “Then I looked out of my window and saw lots of armed police jumping on top of a car and aiming guns at a man and all around his car. “He was a white male in his 30s and seemed to be injured – it looked pretty bad – but I’m not sure if he was injured in a crash,” she said. “I was scared as I thought it was a terrorist and there was so many police officers with guns. “About 10 policemen surrounded him until an ambulance arrived.” Another witness told MailOnline: “They cut his clothes off, his shirt and trousers, and then wrapped him in a silver foil wrap as they administered first aid. “The ambulances showed up a short while later. ‘The paramedics took over the medical treatment. “The driver of the Range Rover appeared to be conscious as the officers were talking to him and I could see him move slightly. “After maybe an hour to 90 minutes he was placed on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his mouth and placed in the back of one of the ambulances. “I could see a senior officer briefing his officers afterwards. I heard him say ‘five stab wounds’ which I took to be the injuries of the driver they’d stopped.” Read Also: Who is Quindon Tarver? Wiki, Biography, Age, Family, Cause of Death, Instagram
