Detectives investigating the indecent assault and murder of Stuart Lubbock at the home of entertainer Michael Barrymore in 2001 have arrested a man on suspicion of indecent assault and murder.
Essex Police said the man, 50, who has not been named, was arrested in Cheshire. They will now question every person who attended the party – including Mr Barrymore.
Butcher Mr Lubbock, 31, had been attending a party at Barrymore’s luxury home in Roydon with eight other people on March 31, 2001, when he died.
Detective Superintendent Lucy Morris told reporters that the suspect continues to be questioned by detectives.
rip Stuart Lubbock hope justice finally comes to you
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
This should have been solved 20 years ago.
@The Toad That’s funny. Tell another one.
You are so right!
Barrymore and the others involved should be locked up and the key thrown away.
How sad for Stuart’s loving father and the struggle he has had over 20 years to get justice for his son. Bless him. He is very unwell now and I wish him all the very best of good wishes. He will be content now I’m sure, that justice will be served and all due to his love and his efforts of not giving up.
20 years ago, perpetrator would had been 30 y.o.
@Tanmay Kumar Pandey age and time has moved on since then.- 2002
@Alex D not sure, what you understood, and what not from my comment, but from 30 y.o. to now 50 y.o he lived & enjoyed his best days.
Wasnt he the character who bungling police allowed access to the crime scene to ‘clean up’!?
Finally! 20 years later. I always thought it was a disgrace that Stuart Lubbock was abused and murdered and nothing seemed to be done about it! You haven’t been forgotten young man. The police will get justice for you. R. I. P. 💐
The guy will probably do under 7 years not really justice.
@72isb There is a Bill going through Parliament right now that is going to increase sentences….and it’s well over due.
@Maria Carlin 🤞🏼
@Maria Carlin I dont agree with the bill but i do agree with longer sentences for severe crimes.
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
stuarts father has campaigned for justice for years and now he has cancer.20 years for something that should have been solved a long time ago
@Pete Rembranch Very strange.
@Victorian Ghost You talk like a fool. Being a fool is not something you have no control over; it’s a choice, and you’ve made a bad one. That’s all I have to say to you. Goodnight my alt-account friend.
@Pete Rembranchsays you . And you ain’t my friend .
@Victorian Ghost take no notice of him,hes a troll with nothing positive to say,you are right and he is wrong.
The truth always finds the light ,, Stuart will now get his justice , thoughts prayers for Stuart s friends family ,
Justice a little late 20 years late. 9 people at the party.
No the truth doesn’t always find the light. Do you know how many innocent people are behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit
@Don Charles and the guilty people responsible for the death of Maddie M still allowed to walk free in the UK due to police corruption
Yes indeed Jean, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
@Michael Gallagher Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
Wow I’m in Ireland. This is some cover up. Mr Barry more ur done, and this took just 20years!
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
Its ABSOLUTELY MAD, I dont like to make a joke when someone has died, but this is CRAZY.
Just ask Barrymore he knows what happened , Barrymore isn’t the “ Big Star “ anymore , get him in the Dock to answer questions , should have been done years ago. R I P Stuart.
@Alex MacKenzie Did you miss the Guildford 4 and Birmingham 6 and the Maguires etc etc etc… the list of fit ups is endless.
@Stanley13
They are gay from the top
along with the guildford 4 and the birmingham 6 is the jackson 5
Yes indeed Jean, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
@Stanley13 Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
Disgusting how long this has taken and still the full story is not known. Incompetence on the police’s part and duplicitous behaviour from Barrymore and the rest of the gang, lets just hope ALL involved are finally held to account even if they do happen to be a famous tv star.
There is no rule of law in this country – connections gets you ‘justice’. It is a Just-US system
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
I remember someone getting payed plenty from a news paper for there story a few years ago think it was one of the single guys that was there blonde haired one I think looked right shady
They were at Barrymore’s, how much more shade can be thrown?..
They withheld information, they probably know exactly how and who, they all should be arrested and charged.
arrest the lot of them and detain them …one will squeal
So glad to hear this. RIP Stuart 🙏 💙
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
Why did it take 20 years to arrest somebody ?
Hasn’t been named, so he’s a powerful man with a good lawyer.
This has dragged on for far too long this should have been resolved years ago
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
I think we need to start asking a whole new set of questions brothers and sisters.
God bless and I hope they sort it now
Yes indeed, I totally agree with you 👍💯🙏
The sentence for guilty offenders who do not come forward should increase proportionately with the time it takes to catch them, from the crime having taken place. The grief to family & friends, others involved, the cost to tax-payer, police wasted time after 20 years is a joke. Whoever is guilty should have their sentence doubled.
Weird case. A few people at the party know what happened that night also 3 of them fled the scene. Poor chap seems like he was lured there forced drugs, abused and murdered. Shame on anyone who knows anything that happened that night.
