Suzy Lamplugh father dies, 87

THE father of murdered estate agent Suzy Lamplugh has died aged 87, the charity he founded has said.

Paul Lamplugh died in his sleep surrounded by his children yesterday after living with Parkinson’s in recent years, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust said.

He co-founded the trust after his 25-year-old daughter, Suzy, disappeared in 1986, having left her west London offices to meet a mystery client known only as Mr Kipper.

No-one was convicted over her death but in 1994 she was officially declared dead, presumed murdered.

Mr Lamplugh, who received an OBE in 2004, was a campaigner for taxi safety and laws protecting victims of stalking, along with his wife, Diana, who died in 2011.
