She told police her estranged husband had attacked her and 29-year-old Ms Rivett. Lord Lucan, a professional gambler, subsequently disappeared, leaving behind a trail of debt and decades of speculation.

THE SUMMER OF LOVE: HOW HIPPIES CHANGED THE WORLD Friday, BBC4, 9pm
THIS year marks the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, which some people will tell you started in San Francisco.
However, this two-part documentary argues that the roots of hippiedom reach much further back than that, to a 19th-century German sect of wandering naturalists called Lebensreform.
Their ideas would eventually arrive in California, where they mingled with a growing interest in Eastern mystical concepts of human nature which had been imported to the US by British thinkers such as Aleister Crowley and Aldous Huxley.
Add anti-war protests, student activism and a CIA-developed wonder drug known as LSD to the mix, and the scene was set for a countercultural movement.
