Lord Lucan Death Certificate Granted

BBC 7 Feb 2016

Lord Lucan is now presumed to be dead, a High Court judge has ruled.


A death certificate has been issued 42 years after the peer vanished when his children's nanny Sandra Rivett was bludgeoned to death in London.

He was declared dead in 1999, despite dozens of unverified sightings, but the new ruling gives his son the right to inherit the family title.

His son, Lord Bingham, said: "I am very happy with the judgment of the court in this matter."

Speaking outside the court, he added: "It has been a very long time coming."

Ms Rivett's son, 49-year-old Neil Berriman said: "I think [Lucan is] dead. It is fantastic and I am very pleased for [Bingham]."


Lucan disappeared the night Ms Rivett was murdered at 46 Lower Belgrave St, Belgravia, on 7 November, 1974.

He drove to a friend's house in East Sussex in a borrowed car, which was later found abandoned in Newhaven with bloodstains inside.

The mystery of his whereabouts excited decades of speculation.

'Admitted crime'

Lady Lucan said at the time of the killing that her husband admitted committing the crime, although he said it was a mistake. It has been reported that she believes Lucan jumped to his death from a ferry leaving Newhaven.

The first reported sightings of Lucan occurred soon after the murder. In January 1975 he was supposedly spotted in Melbourne, Australia, and five months later he was apparently spotted in France.

Police in Cape Town went so far as to check fingerprints on a beer glass, reputedly held by the peer.

In 2012, Lucan's brother Hugh Bingham said he was "sure" the missing peer fled to Africa following the nanny's murder. But he then said he was unsure if his sibling was alive or dead.

'Tasteless' theories

The author of one book claimed an intruder murdered the nanny and attacked Lady Lucan.

In another book, a former senior UK Scotland Yard detective said that Lucan fled to Goa where he lived a hippy lifestyle as Barry Halpin until his death in 1996.

Other "sightings" of Lucan located him in an ex-Nazi colony in Paraguay, a sheep station in the Australian outback, backpacking on Mount Etna and working as a waiter in San Francisco.


Daniela Relph, BBC News at the High Court:

Today a new Lord Lucan left the High Court.

George Bingham had won his fight to have a death certificate issued for his father allowing him to use the family name. He now becomes Lord Lucan in addition to the eighth Earl of Lucan.

He had always said this legal process had been about gaining "closure." Speaking outside the High Court he accepted that some would view the title Lord Lucan as a tainted title but it was his family name and he wanted the right to use it.

Next to him in court sat Neil Berriman, the son of Sandra Rivett, the nanny brutally killed in the Lucan family home in November 1974. The pair have struck up a friendship based on their shared history.

Although Neil Berriman did not object to today's legal ruling, he said he still feels strongly that his mother is the forgotten victim who is still awaiting justice.

Outside the court, George Bingham - now the 8th Earl - said: "I've heard the most bizarre range of theories, some of them reasonably tasteless.

"My own personal view, and it was one I took as an eight-year-old boy, is that he has unfortunately been dead since that time.

"In the circumstances I would think it possible that he saw his life at an end, regardless of guilt or otherwise, being dragged through the courts and the media would have destroyed his personal life, his career and the chances of getting the custody of his children back. And that may well have pushed a man to end his own life, but I have no idea."

Also speaking outside the court, Mr Berriman said the case remained shrouded in mystery.

"I personally, along with other people I worked with on this case, know that the convenient drowning, shooting that night, of Lord Lucan is not true.

"Maybe the police know more than they let on. But at the end we have to get to the truth and justice for Sandra. A horrible death, a young woman beaten - my mother.

"There is no getting away from the fact that, whatever happened that night, Lord Lucan is guilty of something in my eyes."






UPDATE:

Lord Lucan DID Get Away, Says His Brother:
After 42-year Family Silence, Hugh Bingham 'Ghosts' Explosive Autobiography of Missing Aristocrat to Prove How He Vanished

• Lord Lucan was officially declared dead in a High Court ruling last week
• He has long been suspected of murdering nanny Sandra Rivett in 1974
• Brother Hugh Bingham has broken family silence 42 years later
• Said his sibling is innocent of the killing at family home in London

By Daily Mail UK, 7 February 2016


For nearly 42 years, those closest to the disgraced Lord ‘Lucky’ Lucan have maintained a strict code of silence about the fate of the louche aristocrat who disappeared in 1974 after the brutal murder of his children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, at the family home in Belgravia.


Now, in the wake of last week’s High Court ruling that finally pronounced the missing playboy officially dead, Lord Lucan’s younger brother, Hugh Bingham, has broken the family oath of ‘omerta’ to speak for the first time in detail about Britain’s most sensational unsolved murder case.

In a series of remarkable interviews carried out by The Mail on Sunday over a period of two years, Bingham – the first member of Lucan’s inner circle ever to speak out – reveals that he believed his brother was an innocent man who fled with the help of wealthy friends because he had no prospect of a fair trial, and was running scared of violent gangsters chasing unpaid gambling debts.








Hugh Bingham, pictured above, younger brother of Lord Lucan, top, has broken his family's 42-year silence and claimed his sibling was innocent of the murder of Sandra Rivett at his home in London in 1974


He describes his emotional meeting with Lucan’s wife in the aftermath of the murder, and claims the police case was flawed by inadequate forensics and compromised by a conflict of interest.

He hints that Lord Lucan may have believed his estranged wife, Lady Veronica, had been having an affair with a senior police officer later tasked to investigate the case.

And in what is perhaps the most extraordinary twist in a mystery that has gripped the world for more than four decades, Bingham reveals he is writing a fictional ‘autobiography’, where he imagines himself as his brother.

In the book, he gives such a detailed description of Lucan’s escape that he appears to provide tantalising clues as to the true nature of his whereabouts.

Now 76 and in frail health, Hugh Bingham is a well-spoken, dignified and gently spiritual man who clearly feels torn between a need to unburden himself and a duty of loyalty to his elder brother.

He refuses to be drawn on the reason why, six months after the murder, he suddenly moved to Africa, where he now lives a semi-reclusive life in Johannesburg.

For years Bingham has been reluctant to discuss fully his brother’s case, though he has claimed at various times – without providing corroborating detail or evidence – that his brother was either alive, or died in 2004 and was buried in Africa.

Asked when he last saw Lord Lucan, he claimed not to have seen his brother for many years, but refused to elaborate further.





Sandra Rivett, pictured, was found bludgeoned to death at the Lucan home in Belgravia, London


Now Bingham paints a surprising portrait of the man believed by millions to have been a raffish gambler most at home among his high-society friends, including John Aspinall and Sir James Goldsmith.

Bingham says his brother has been misrepresented in the years since his disappearance and his real character was ‘deeper and more human’ than generally perceived. ‘John was actually a man of honour.

He was likeable and bright and I know that he was increasingly uncomfortable with the sharp practices he saw around him at Aspinall’s club. He was a decent man.’

He describes the pair’s happy childhood before the seedy world of gambling and mounting debts sent his brother into a downward spiral.

‘We were a very close family, the four of us: John, my elder brother, my sister Sally, who has since died, and Jane, who now lives in America.

'I was the youngest in a happy household. To a certain extent I looked up to John. I have memories of a family holiday in Rhodesia on a relative’s farm which I treasure.

‘During the war our parents sent all four of us to America and we spent three or four years together which in retrospect brought us all closer.

'But as we grew older and returned to England, John’s fascination with gambling in many forms including horse-racing and [card game] chemin-de-fer, frequenting society clubs and living a nocturnal lifestyle, meant we grew apart.

‘But we remained brothers in every sense. He confided in me during the most difficult times in his marriage, and I sympathised deeply with his plight – the fear he had that he could be shut out of the lives of his children.’

Bingham also speaks of his brother’s despair, knowing that he had no chance of a fair investigation, adding: ‘John had no option but to flee. He would have considered his chances of a fair trial to be very slim.’





Lord Lucan, pictured left, on board a yacht with friends, lived a 'nocturnal lifestyle' according to his brother


Now, in an astonishing development that could be seen as a way to sidestep his vow of silence, Bingham has shown The Mail on Sunday part of the manuscript of a book written from the perspective of his brother which could finally clear Britain’s longest-running mystery up once and for all.

Bingham's as-yet unfinished book is a thinly veiled, fictionalised account of a man who fled Britain assuming the identity and passport of a dead friend because he feared he would never receive a fair trial after the murder of his wife.

Written in the first person, the untitled book features a protagonist who gambled at Aspinall’s Clermont Club and who lived in fear of Billy Hill, the menacing East End gangster who mentored the Kray twins and ran a scam with Aspinall to defraud wealthy clients of millions of pounds at the gaming tables. He also provided the muscle when gambling debts needed collecting.

The book sets out in detail how ‘Lucan’ escapes Britain. He is harboured after the murder by a friend called Hilton, who gleefully tells him of the sudden death of a family friend whose personal documents would still be valid – for a short time – allowing Lucan to travel on his passport.

He then travels through Zambia and Rhodesia to KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, where he begins a new life as the overseer of a farm owned by an old friend called James, a wealthy absentee landowner.
The book goes on to describe in detail Lucan’s anxieties as he starts his new life.

Every new visitor or chance encounter with a neighbour is a source of fear.

Other passages reveal details of his friendships with white settlers who ran huge estates. In a bizarre and breathless account of his efforts to be accepted into the local culture, there is a grimly realistic description of the initiation ceremony of a Sangoma, or traditional healer.

It involves the grotesque abuse of a goat and its subsequent slaughter, with no detail spared. The book does not say how Lucan’s story ends, but it poses an intriguing theory about how he got away.

What is certain is that the aristocrat disappeared on the night of November 7, 1974, after his children’s 28-year-old nanny Sandra Rivett was bludgeoned to death with a piece of lead piping in the basement of the Lucan family home in Lower Belgrave Street.

Her body was stuffed into a mail sack before Lady Lucan came downstairs and was herself attacked before escaping to a nearby pub, the Plumbers Arms, to raise the alarm and name her husband as the killer.

The murder sparked a nationwide sensation, but the subsequent police manhunt only deepened the mystery.

A bloodstained Ford Corsair car known to have been driven by Lucan was found abandoned near Newhaven, East Sussex, but there was no other trace of the hapless Earl, who had become obsessed by gaining custody of his three children and had kept his wife under surveillance.

One theory initially proposed by the police was that Lucan had committed suicide by throwing himself in the English Channel.

But after a number of alleged sightings, the whereabouts of ‘Lucky’ Lucan became a national obsession, spawning scores of theories about how he had fled abroad and was being protected by well-connected friends.

Hugh, along with Lucan’s close friend Dominic Elwes, was the first person to visit Lucan’s wife in hospital after the murder. Elwes was in tears about Lucan’s plight, believing him guilty.

Hugh says: ‘I knew the opposite. I knew he was innocent. I did not believe anything Veronica said.’

After moving to Rhodesia in 1975 and then South Africa, Hugh Bingham worked in the mining industry for a number of years, took part in the monitoring of South Africa’s first democratic election in 1994, and was for some time linked to the Theosophical Society, lecturing on spirituality.

He currently lives in the outbuilding of a friend’s garden with no obvious means of support.

In an odd twist, his host in Johannesburg is an Etonian-educated lawyer whose own father lost his entire fortune at Lucan’s favourite haunt – the Clermont Club – and subsequently committed suicide.

Bingham admits he longs to return to England and live in a country cottage with log fires and a pet golden retriever, but insists he has no regrets about carrying a lifetime burden on behalf of his brother.





Lucan, pictured centre, was believed by millions to be a gambler who spent lavish sums of money


‘I would never abandon my loyalty to him. I have always believed he didn’t commit murder. He had no choice but to flee in the face of cruel allegations,’ he says.

As recently as 2013, Bingham was summoned to a family meeting in Britain, joined by his older sister Jane, who travelled in from New York.

All the signs are that this was held to underline the pact of silence shared by the members of an aristocratic family which resolutely tries to keep its secrets to itself.


Indeed, even Hugh’s nephew George’s court application for a death certificate last week under the new Presumption of Death Act was entrusted only to a family member, his brother-in-law Michael Bloch QC.

Though some members of the family are said to have been unhappy that George had been informally using his father’s title before he was officially entitled to, Hugh said he was pleased he had finally become the 8th Earl of Lucan.

He said: ‘I’m delighted that this brings a degree of resolution to a vexed problem that has been painful over many years.’

Perhaps that is why he was prepared to speak – as far as he felt able – about the enduring mystery surrounding the moustachioed 7th Earl, a debt-ridden professional gambler who inhabited the monied and aristocratic demi-monde of London’s private casinos and was engaged in an acrimonious divorce and custody battle with his wife, Veronica.

Intriguingly, Bingham also accuses Scotland Yard of failing to investigate Sandra’s murder properly, saying there were ‘numerous glaring holes’ in the police case.

He added: ‘The police inquiry was compromised from the start. An inquiry into the police inquiry would be a start.

'For example, there is significant evidence of the existence of an unknown man at the scene – is he known to police?’





Lady Lucan, pictured centre, pictured with detectives from Scotland Yard after her husband disappeared


He added that Lucan had kept his wife under observation while gathering evidence for a fiercely contested custody battle and may have believed Veronica was having an affair with a senior detective who was among the Scotland Yard team investigating the murder.


In a letter he earlier sent to The Spectator magazine – never published but given to The Mail on Sunday by Bingham – he accuses senior investigator Detective Chief Inspector David Gerring, now dead, of having removed evidence from the murder file and taking documents home.

‘The deeper aspects of this question will probably remain unanswered since Gerring may have removed evidence from the file precisely to safeguard them in view of the fact that a colleague may have been implicated,’ he wrote.

He complains that Sandra’s body was released for cremation just six weeks after the murder and four months before the inquest, and describes the ‘frenzied and persistent attention paid to the possibly glamorous aspects of the case by the media’, accusing the press of ‘toff-bashing’.

But in an uncanny echo of the police case – whose files have lain gathering dust for decades – he told of his doubts that he would ever be able to finish his book and his fears that it would remain on the shelf while the rest of the world speculates as they have for the past 42 years.

Son of Lord Lucan's Murdered Nanny Claims to Have Found Missing Earl Alive

EXCLUSIVE: Neil Berriman, the son of murdered nanny Sandra Rivett, claims to have hunted down her killer Lord Lucan - and found him 'living as a Buddhist in Australia'


Daily Mirror •30 Jan 2020


The son of the nanny killed by Lord Lucan claims he has found the peer in Australia.





Neil Berriman says Lucan, who vanished after the murder of Sandra Rivett in 1974, lives as a Buddhist in a shared house.


After telling police of his findings, he said: “I know he’s still alive.”

The man he believes to be Lucan is in his mid-80s and seriously ill, awaiting major surgery and virtually housebound in a large shared detached house in the suburbs.

Mr Berriman, 52, has been to Scotland Yard’s Cold Case Unit with his findings, telling them: “I believe I have tracked down the man, Lord Lucan, who murdered my mother.”

He said the officer he spoke to agreed that police must look into his claims. He added: “They will now have to investigate this properly.”

The building contractor and father-of-two claims Lucan based himself in Perth on arrival in Australia, but moved to another part of the country after a series of disagreements with pals.

He now has a new group of friends. Two are young Englishmen, and another is an Australian he first met on a Buddhist retreat 11 years ago. They all take part in daily meditation sessions.

The mystery man needs a part-time carer, and often sits on the verandah listening to trains in the distance. The friends confirmed to the Daily Mirror that an elderly Englishman who looks like Lucan lives at the house.

Lord “Lucky” Lucan, who would have turned 85 last month, disappeared after the murder of Miss Rivett at the family’s exclusive mews home in Belgravia, Central London, on November 7, 1974.

Lord Lucan was a member of the Clermont Set, a group of powerful, wealthy people including millionaire businessmen Sir James Goldsmith and John Aspinall. There have been sightings in South Africa, the Maldives, India and even India. But, despite extensive police inquiries, he has never been found.

Mr Berriman’s quest began when he discovered 12 years ago that he was Sandra Rivett’s secret son, who had been adopted shortly after birth.

When Lucan was formally declared dead by the High Court on February 3, 2016, he received a detailed tip by letter that Lucan was in fact alive.

He then decided to spend £30,000 of his own cash on a private investigation. As he dug deeper, he claimed evidence showed that Lucan had indeed escaped British justice.

Mr Berriman, who lives with partner Kim in Milland, West Sussex, said: “He has been alive all this time. Lying about who he is. Lying about it to his new friends.

“They are fully aware he is a mystery elderly Englishman and not who he is claiming to be.

“The people he lives with know he has a mystery past and what he tells them does not add up. They have had their suspicions for many years.

“Lucan is a deceitful conman and he is the man who murdered my mother.

“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind he escaped that night, with the help of friends who helped him get across the Channel and get a new passport, and incredibly he is still alive.

“From my own inquiries he’s had at least six different identities."

The earldom of Lucan was created back in 1795 during the reign of King George III.


The Binghams are an Anglo-Irish aristocratic family. Among them were George Bingham, the 3rd Earl of Lucan, who is best remembered for his controversial role in the Crimean War, when he lead the cavalry division involved in the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade.

EXCLUSIVE: Scotland Yard's cold case team have contacted Neil Berriman, the son of nanny Sandra Rivett, murdered by Lord Lucan in 1974, after he told the Mirror the fugitive is alive and living in Australia






Scotland Yard said: “The inquiry into the death of Sandra Rivett remains open, as is the case with all unsolved murders.

“It has never been closed. Any significant new information will be considered.”

Lord Lucan Victims' Son Says Peer is Alive in Australia and Begs Police to Act

EXCLUSIVE: Shortly after the anniversary of his mum Sandra Rivett’s death, Neil Berriman has described parts of the new police inquiry as a 'farce'

Daily Mirror UK, 1 DEC 2020.

Lord Lucan married Veronica Duncan in November 1963





Sandra Rivett was murdered in 1974


The son of the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan has hit out at police for failing to arrest a man he claims is the missing peer, and says he fears his suspect will die before being questioned.

Neil Berriman, who this month visited his mother Sandra Rivett’s grave to mark the 46th anniversary of her death on November 7, 1974, has described parts of the new police inquiry as a “farce”.

In January, he gave police “evidence” that Lucan, who would now be 85, was alive and living in a Buddhist commune in Australia.

Emails sent last month show the Metropolitan Police’s cold case unit is investigating Mr Berriman’s claim.

He says the mystery Englishman is now seriously ill, and fears the man will die before facing justice.

Mr Berriman said: “Why is this taking so long? I’m so horrendously frustrated and disappointed.

"This man is unwell and I want him brought to justice before he dies.

“It’s kept me up at night the thought he could die without the Australian police knocking on his door. No one I know can understand why the police have not knocked on his door and interviewed him.

“They have credible evidence that this man is one of the most notorious killers in history.

“What everyone wants is for him to die. The authorities want him to die so that this ‘problem’ – as they see it – just goes away.

“I want justice for Sandra. I am the son of a murder victim and I want justice as well.

"The establishment have closed ranks on this. I’m a massive thorn in their side. They didn’t want him to be found.”

The police have several pictures and videos of the man Mr Berriman believes is Lucan, who disappeared after Sandra was killed at his mews home in Belgravia, Central London.

Lucan had run up huge gambling debts, his marriage to Lady Veronica Lucan had collapsed and the couple were battling for custody of their three children. Police think he attacked Sandra with a lead pipe after mistaking her for his wife.

There were rumours he had committed suicide by throwing himself off a cross-Channel ferry from Newhaven days later.

But no body was ever washed up and it has long been suspected that powerful friends helped him escape to avoid a lengthy prison sentence.

Mr Berriman, 52, a building contractor and father-of-two from Milland, West Sussex, discovered 12 years ago that he was Sandra’s secret son and had been adopted soon after he was born.

When the High Court formally declared Lucan dead on February 3, 2016, he received a detailed tip by letter that Lucan was, in fact, alive.

He has since spent £30,000 investigating the claim. He said: “I’ve put in so much hard work and nothing has happened to take us forward. I have given the police all the evidence I gathered.

“I have made several trips to visit the Yard in London this year. I gave them so much evidence.

“On one occasion they didn’t even have the right computer equipment to download all my information.

“It’s a farce.”

After giving police his information, he had several meetings with the Yard but then the pandemic hit.

In an email last month Scotland Yard told him: “Please be assured that we are progressing matters as quickly as we can and pursuing a number of lines of enquiry having completed already a lot of enquiries to date.”

Mr Berriman said: “I did have a call last week from Scotland Yard and they reassured me that their investigation is continuing, but said the Covid-19 pandemic had caused delays.

“I believe some of their team are as frustrated by the lack of progress as I am.

"They have been in regular contact with me, taken evidence and a statement from me, but at the end of the day nine months have passed and nothing has happened.

"I’m certain this man is Lord Lucan. If it’s not, why haven’t they told me it’s NOT him?




Lord Lucan with Annabel Birley in 1973


“They have had pictures and video for nine months now, which they clearly must have had experts analyse.”

Mr Berriman is convinced the mystery man in Australia is Lucan because of the information he was given in the original tip, and because his suspect is English, in the right age group and speaks with a posh accent.

An officer working on the case for Scotland Yard has sent Mr Berriman emails over the past month.

In the October 15 email, they wrote: “We have been progressing all matters as soon as we can and when we have the information available to do so.

"We have been doing all we can whilst restricted by the world pandemic that has taken place and is still ongoing.

“However what can sometimes seem as simple enquiries to those not involved in our line of work can often be complex and take time especially when dealing with other countries and having to abide by the legislation that is in place in both countries and the international agreements that are in place between the two countries.

“We also have to establish our own lines of enquiry for all of the information we are provided with and check the details we have been provided. We do this for all investigations.”

And on October 2, they wrote: “We are reviewing all the material you have provided us with and checking the information as well as conducting new investigative lines of enquiry that should assist us in this investigation.

“These matters take time and I am trying to progress things as quickly as possible however I am reliant upon other departments and agencies to assist with certain aspects.”

Scotland Yard said today that they were “not aware” of any developments in the Lucan investigation.


Lucan Probe 'Shut Down'

A top detective claims he tried to reopen the Lucan probe 20 years ago but was slapped down.

The Detective Chief Superintendent, who we agreed not to name, said: “A more senior officer found out what I was going to do and took the stuff away from me and that was the end of it.

“In a nutshell, he told me to put a stop to it. I don’t know why. There was clearly a reason why they didn’t want to probe this – I do not know what that was.

"The investigation should have been re-opened. In the early 2000s there was a huge probability Lucan was still alive.

“I couldn’t get my head around why this wasn’t at the top of the agenda.

"In the 1970s and 1980s you didn’t have communication systems you have now – you could disappear and literally never be heard from again because you didn’t have a footprint.

“But some cases the Met just wouldn’t look at.”

Lord Lucan Breakthrough as ,Mystery Man's Face is EXACT Match For Missing Killer

Lord Lucan disappeared the day after he murdered his family nanny Sandra Rivett, with friends having claimed he jumped off a cross-channel ferry

BBC News ,7 Nov 2022






A facial recognition expert says an elderly man living in Australia is a definite match for runaway murderer Lord Lucan.


Lucan killed a nanny and vanished in 1974. Professor Hassan Ugail says the algorithm linking Lucan to a man in Oz, blurred for legal reasons, is “never wrong”.

The leading computer scientist used an artificial intelligence algorithm to run 4,000 cross-checks of seven photos – four of Lucan and three of the mystery pensioner in Australia.

The expert, who ID-ed two of the Russians behind the Salisbury Skripal poisonings, said: “They produced a match. This isn’t an opinion, it’s science and mathematical fact.”

Monday – November 7 – is the 48th anniversary of the day Lucan murdered family nanny Sandra Rivett.

The aristocrat disappeared the following day. Friends claimed that he jumped off a cross-channel ferry but his body was never found.

Lucan would now be 87 – the same age as the frail man living in a small town just outside Brisbane, capital of the state of Queensland.

Four of the photos analysed were of Lucan – from a 14-year-old boy until his disappearance – and three of the mystery man in Australia tracked down by Rivett’s son Neil Berriman.


Strange life of mystery Lord Lucan suspect who left UK after 'bad things happened'

Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan, who disappeared after the murder of his children's nanny and who has never been found.

A facial recognition scientist claims this blurred image is of a man living in Australia whose face is an exact match to Lord Lucan

Mr Berriman said: “I’ve spent nine years trying to prove this man is Lucan. Now, with this new scientific information, the police must act.

“This isn’t emotion. It’s fact.”

Prof Ugail’s startling findings will send shockwaves through the British establishment.

The analysis carried out by Ugail, Professor of Visual Computing at the University of Bradford, included micro-millimetre measurements of spaces between facial features.

Ugail has spent 20 years developing his artificial intelligence algorithm.

A second company, a highly respected US firm, ran the same tests and came to the same conclusion.

Prof Ugail said: “In recent years there has been a massive imp-rovement in artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology.


Facial Recognition expert Hassan Ugail, a professor of Visual Computing at the University of Bradford

“We can now confirm things that would have been impossible just five years ago. We’ve compared thousands and thousands of people and there have been literally millions of photos that we’ve analysed using the algorithm.

“It has never been wrong.


“This algorithm has been trained on millions of photos.

“People of different ethnicities, different ages – the only time it will fail is if you put in identical twins. It only takes a few minutes to run it and it comes back with a percentage – a ‘similarity index’.

“Even if you put two exact images of the same person, you are never going to get 100% similarity because of the way images are taken – pixels and everything else.

“Anything with a similarity index of 75% or higher is conclusively the same individual.

“The lowest score I got was around 76. I think the highest was 88.” When Mr Berriman initially contacted Prof Ugail, he did not tell him about who he suspected was in the pictures.

In 1974, Lord Lucan disappeared, suspected of murder

Prof Ugail, who grew up in the Maldives, said: “Now that I know more about this Lord Lucan case I’m very pleased that I said ‘yes’.

“It wasn’t a story I was particularly interested in, or a more recent one like Madeleine McCann.

“I had heard of Lord Lucan but knew very little about the case.”

Lady Lucan – Veronica Bingham – fled from her house in Belgravia, central London, covered in blood on November 7, 1974.

Safe in a nearby pub, the Plumbers Arms, she told how she had heard screams from the basement, and found her husband there.

She said he attacked her. His car, its interior stained with blood, was later found abandoned in Newhaven, East Sussex. A piece of bandaged lead pipe was found in the boot.

In 1975, an inquest jury found Lord Lucan – formerly John Bingham – to be responsible for Sandra Rivett’s death. Her body was found in his home. Lucan was declared legally dead in 2016.

Lady Lucan had three children, Frances, George and Camilla. She committed suicide in 2017, aged 80, after wrongly diagnosing herself with Parkinson’s disease.

Prof Ugail said of his facial recognition system: “It’s actually the culmination of 15 to 20 years of work with a lot of people in our lab, not just me, my academic colleagues, 15 to 20 PhD students. There has been millions of pounds of research money that came into the visual computing related research I do, part of which is this face recognition algorithm.

“It comes partly from the Government and its research grant-awarding bodies, like the Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council, and also the EU.

“My first research grant from the British government was back in 2002. Interestingly, that was to develop an efficient face-recognition algorithm. And every single year since then I’ve received another one to work on a research problem related to visual computing.

“I am more than happy to make my findings on this particular analysis available to anyone.”

After the Salisbury poisonings, which targeted Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in 2018, Prof Ugail determined that a suspect calling himself Alexander Petrov was, in fact, Russian agent Dr Alexander Yev-genyevich Mishkin.

Another, calling himself Sergej Fedotov, he showed to be Denis Sergeev, also in Russia ’s GRU agency.

Professor Hassan Ugail is so widely respected in his field that he was asked to give evidence for an official paper on facial recognition technology for the Government.

He is the author of several books, including Deep Learning in Visual Computing: Explanations and Examples.

He helped to identify suspects in the 2018 case of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

And his work to identify the Salisbury poisoners was crucial.

Author Eliot Higgins detailed how he proved accused poisoner Alexander Petrov was, in reality, Alexander Mishkin.

He said Ugail compared Mishkin’s ID photo from 2001 to a passport picture of “Petrov” from 2016.

Accomplice “Sergej Fedotov” was ID-ed as Denis Sergeev by comparing a TV image to a passport photo.

Recognition systems are now superb

One of the world’s leading experts on artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology confirmed the massive improvements in the science in recent years.

Patrick Grother, scientist at the Washington DC-based National Institute of Standards and Technology, said: “This is science. It is mathematical science.

“It’s not anybody’s opinion any more.

“AI, the FRT and algorithms have developed beyond any recognition since six or seven years ago.

“You can change your appearance in many ways. You can avid looking at the camera. You could wear a baseball hat, wear sunglasses, pull a facial expression, or close your eyes.

“But this new generation of algorithms is increasingly insensitive to changes like that.”
