BBC News: Lord Lucan 'had secret life in Africa'
In the days following his disappearance, Lucan became the focus of an intense Scotland Yard manhunt, the chief suspect wanted for the murder of his children's nanny, 29-year-old Sandra Rivett, and the attempted murder of his estranged wife, the Countess of Lucan.
Inside Out revisits the infamous case and interviews two new witnesses who claim the disgraced peer was smuggled out of the UK to a secret life abroad.
"Jill" worked for John Aspinall as a young woman in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
She says that Aspinall, James Goldsmith and others held secret meetings at which she was present where they discussed getting Lucan's children out to see him in Africa using second passports.
"Jill" tells BBC Inside Out's Glenn Campbell that Lord Lucan was alive and living in Africa during the 1970's and 80's, and was funded by Aspinall and his close group of friends.
