Son of Lord Lucan's murdered nanny claims to have found missing Earl alive in Australia
Neil Berriman says Lucan, who vanished after the murder of Sandra Rivett in 1974, lives as a Buddhist in a shared house.
After telling police of his findings, he said: “I know he’s still alive.”
The man he believes to be Lucan is in his mid-80s and seriously ill, awaiting major surgery and virtually housebound in a large shared detached house in the suburbs.
Lord Lucan’s only son today rubbished claims the British aristocrat has been discovered living as a Buddhist in Australia after 46 years and told MailOnline: ‘My father has been found many times over the years only to be wrong.’
George Bingham says he is 'very sceptical' about claims made by the son of his nanny Sandra Rivett, who was beaten to death in Lucan's basement in 1974.
The current Lord Lucan said: 'Quite frankly I am very skeptical about this. I had seen the story and it does seem odd. It would not be the first time someone has made a mistake. My father has been found many times over the years only to be wrong.
'To be honest this is all ancient history. It happened in 1974 and now it’s 2020. I guess people will always go on looking and they are welcome to do so'.
The High Court declared him dead for probate purposes in 1999, but there have been scores of reported sightings around the world, in countries including Australia, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand.
In an ITV documentary in 2017, Lady Lucan said she believed Lord Lucan had jumped off a ferry shortly after the killing.

Lady Lucan may well be right but only because it is the most plausible explanation; she cannot actually know.

Ramruma - This is pedantry - a bit from me as well!! BUT she presumably said what she believed. This is not at all inconsistent with "actually knowing".
