After watching the ITV documentary last night about Lady Lucan does anyone question her account of the night of the murder?
I cant quite put my finger on why I dont fully believe her account of that night, maybe her account is correct and its her demeanour that puts me off.
Does anyone know if Lord Lucan had a life insurance policy for Lady Lucan? She insinuated in the documentary that he killed Sandra Rivett thinking it was her, because of his financial state and the stress that had caused yet he seems to have had money troubles at various times in his life.
Thought Id share in case anyone else was of a similar opinion.
Here's my theory for what it's worth. Lord Lucan was a womaniser, an abuser, a professional gambler and most importantly he was a narcissist.
They were in the middle of a messy divorce. Their marriage was one of convenience. Lord Lucan did have cash flow problems. He was cold and reticent according to her, however from photos I have seen, she looks like the cold and reticent one to me.
He had beaten her before and they were divorcing and she had a protection order against him. These actions tell me she was afraid of him. Yet she didn't even change the lock on the front door?
That doesn't make sense.
Lord Lucan enters the house in total darkness, finds somebody somewhere in the house, does not put on the lights but immediately begins to bludgeon the person.
Doesn't add up.
If I was an abusive narcissist, what would make me furious enough to commit murder?
Finding her in bed with someone else.
Where exactly did the attack take place? Because generally a nanny can be found upstairs close to the children's bedrooms. Especially late at night.
I think he caught her in bed with the nanny. I do think he premeditated his attack because he brought a pipe along. So perhaps there were whispers of impropriety.
Her story is that she runs downstairs in darkness and finds him beating the nanny to death.
The house was a five story house, the nanny must have screamed loudly.
At the same time, Lord Lucan beats her once and she manages to get away and get help.
Afterwards the car he lent and the bloody pipe are found at a port.
Lady Lucan says he must have jumped overboard into the propellers.
She is very certain that he is dead. Except suicide doesn't fit with the narcissist personality. And for such a henious crime suicide would be the gentlemanly thing to do. Society would accept that.
However, Lady Lucan continued to live the Belgravia house until the 90's. Never remarrying or having some kind of income. How did she do that?
I think they struck a deal, before she ran for 'help'. I think John Bingham realised with a shock what a mess he was in and so did she.
I think she helped him get away and he kept quiet about her and the nanny. The car at the port was a diversion, I don't think he ever left England and I think he was quite close by.
Their relationship wouldn't have changed to instant love. They were keeping an eye on each other. And with the money problems solved, she could afford to hide him.
I think they eventually went their separate ways when she moved in the 90's to the house she was found dead in.
Lord Lucan was declared dead for probate reasons in 2002. I think he took his half and she took hers and he might have left the country then under a different identity.
The two obvious loopholes in my theory are 1) He was a gambler, and 2) the children.
