Richard John Bingham, known as Lord Lucan, a gambling aristocrat, murder-accused, and once presumed dead fugitive, has apparently been found alive and not so well.
It only took 50 years after his disappearance, with theory after theory about where he might have landed up finally discarded for some semblance of the truth.
The man with a taste for BDSM was apparently meant to have bludgeoned his wife, Veronica Duncan, to death at their home in London.
But instead, he had killed the nanny of his kids, Sandra Rivett, on that fateful day in 1974 and somehow managed to disappear.
Scotland Yard told The Daily Mail in January 2020 that Rivett’s case remained “unsolved” and “open” more than 45 years after she was bludgeoned to death with a length of lead piping and her body then stuffed into a mail-sack in Lucan’s basement.
Sandra’s son, Neil Berriman, has been tracking the whereabouts of Lord Lucan, otherwise known as Lucky Lucan thanks to his gambling habits, who managed to hide after the bloody murder.
Lucan was once thought to be living as a hippy called ‘Jungle Barry’ in India, or in the New Zealand outback with a pet possum and a goat called Camilla.
In 2016 a court even issued a ‘presumption of death’ certificate for Lord Lucan, who (according to some) committed suicide by scuttling the powerboat he kept at Newhaven and jumping into the sea with rocks in his pockets.
In 2020, Neil was convinced that the fugitive peer was living as a Buddhist in Australia, having just turned 85.
“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.”
“They are fully aware he is a mystery elderly Englishman and not who he is claiming to be. Lucan is a deceitful conman and he is the man who murdered my mother.”
Now, thanks to Artificial Intelligent technology, facial recognition experts have managed to pinpoint the fugitive pensioner by cross-checking a couple of images of his face, reported Express UK:
Computer scientist Professor Hassan Ugail, who was reportedly previously able to identify the two Russians behind the Salisbury novichok poisonings, used an algorithm to run 4,000 comparisons of four images of Lord Lucan and three of the pensioner.
He told the Mirror: “They produced a match. This isn’t an opinion, it’s science and mathematical fact.”
Neil added that he has spent nine years trying to prove this man is Lucan and now, “with this new scientific information, the police must act”, he said, adding that “This isn’t emotion. It’s fact”.
If all of this is indeed true, Lord Lucan will be aged 87, which happens to be the same age as the old man who is said to be living in a small town just outside Brisbane.
No more running and hiding now, (un)Lucky Lucan.
