The Death Of Stuart Lubbock In Michael Barrymore's Pool - Part 2

Season 4, Ep. 50

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 4 - EPISODE 49’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS FOUR-PART CASE. 


Stuart Lubbock, a father to two young children, was 31 when he was found lifeless, floating in a swimming pool that belonged to celebrity entertainer Michael Barrymore. Stuart was naked apart from a pair of boxer shorts. He had suffered severe internal injuries that would later be described as “horrific”. Essex Police undertook an investigation that lasted almost a year, and several arrests were made. Still, no one was ultimately charged, and the inquiry wound down (Part 2 of 4).

    Trupti Patel lost three babies to sudden infant death. Then she was accused of murdering them. In 2003, this British pharmacist stood trial at Reading Crown Court, her fate resting on testimony from Professor Sir Roy Meadow - the same expert whose flawed evidence had helped convict Sally Clark.
