On 4 July 2008 a warrant was executed at my home. Seven (all) of my Box files on the Lord Lucan case were removed by the vale of Glamorgan council, animal licensing officer (Amanda Ewington Gape). I had already made three formal complaints against her. She deceived Magistrates in to giving her a warrant to search my home. The warrants was issued, under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 section 52(5)(a).

Amanda had stated to Magistrate’s, she would find evidence of unnecessary suffering to animals at my home, specifically she stated ‘on a computer.’ 

The council spent thousands of pounds, having all my mobile phones, computers and children’s computer, forensically examined at great public expense, for this ‘alleged’ evidence. No evidence was ever found because there never was any to find. 

Amanda then executed the warrant at my home. My solicitor correctly noted in his ‘Attendance notes of me, that no evidence of any animal suffering was found at my home, which justified the obtaining of a warrant. 

Over a period of months, Amanda proceeded to build a fabricated case, against me, to save the council from a substantial claim for damages. It was Amanda who authorised all payments/invoices to their council employed Vet, Mark Evans, of valley vets, Gabalfa, Cardiff.

Realising the council were facing a substantial claim for damages, from me, the council had to rely on their own vet being prepared to state something, against me, in order for them to case build against me under the Animal Welfare Act. Foolishly he agreed.

By removing ‘my entire office contents,’ the licensing officer had achieved her aim, to simply disrupt my life as much as possible, without fear of consequence. My initial thought, when the warrant was executed, and the Lucan research material was removed, that perhaps security services were behind this. But that was not the case.

Removing ‘everything’ for ‘sifting later’ is an offence in itself under the Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1998. It was a further offence for journalistic material to have been removed. An offence known as ‘Ultra Vires’ was also committed by Amanda, as she was clearly investigating my company vat file. Ultra Vires is a legal term used, where the person executing a warrant, issued by a court, has exceeded the powers given to them by the court.

The crucial point to understand is, the Lucan box files contained, hand written extracts, from a Diary Lucan’s friend living in Ebury street made, when Lucan visited him, late on the night of the murder. As a result of publicity and my involvement in this case over many years, in 2008 his son now a grown up man, contacted me. After an exchange of emails, he emailed me extracts of his late Fathers Diary entry written on Friday the 8th November 1974. The man subsequently agreed to meet me in Hereford. However, my home was then raided under warrant.This caused me to suffer a mental break down.

It did not help, that all my mobile phones, computers etc remained in the possession, and under the control of Amanda Ewington Gape for the next six months.

Perhaps the vale of glamorgan council, (Legal Department) should explain why they removed, such substantial unrelated material from my home. They are responsible for why the investigation of the Lucan case, did not advance back in 2008.

When the vale of glamorgan council, returned my property, numerous records, and documents, including the extracts of the Diary entry written by Lucan’s friend, and the DNA sample in my investigation of the Ben Needham case, sent to me by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) were missing. The story concerning the missing DNA, was covered in a story published by the Mail On Sunday 24 January 2016.

The mans son did not ask me for money. I concluded there was simply, a desire on his part, to finally let some truth, emerge in this case. After all he was not a friend of Lucan’s as his late father had been. There was no question of loyalty to consider.

Ridiculous claims have persisted for far too long, that Lucan lived as Jungle Barry Halpin as a Buddhist in Goa, India. I now understand, Neil Berriman (one of Sandra Rivetts Sons’) believes Lucan is living as a Buddhist in Brisbane, Australia. These are all simply ridiculous. Mad ideas of wishful thinking.

I recently read a newspaper report, that back in the mid eighties, Lucan was allegedly living with another disgraced Lord and his wife in the Philippines. Why do these ludicrous stories, suddenly get reported upon by mainstream media, after all these years? Conveniently coinciding with fifty years since Lucans disappearance.

After hundreds of alleged sightings, why has there NEVER been a single finger print or photograph of Lord Lucan taken after the 7th November 1974? Because he died, in the honourable way, in London, in the early hours of Friday 8th November 1974.

His death confirmed by Lady Lucan, and John Aspinall who stated Lucan committed suicide. Lucan’s Son George Bingham, now the eight Earl of Lucan, said in the Channel Four Documentary, The Hunt For Lord Lucan, that it was his ‘intuition’ that his Father never got out of London.
