EXCLUSIVE: Meet the key players from Michael Barrymore's fateful swimming pool party as the inquest is combed over in new police probe offering £20,000 reward to find Stuart Lubbock's killer
What police think happened on fateful night at Barrymore pool party
For almost two decades the events surrounding the death of factory supervisor Stuart Lubbock during a party at Michael Barrymore’s mansion have been clouded with mystery.
Then one of the biggest stars on television, the tragedy shattered Barrymore’s career and Stuart’s family have desperately sought answers and justice ever since.
As police offer a £20,000 reward to find the killer, and ahead of Channel 4 documentary The Body In The Pool on Thursday night, we look at the evidence gathered so far:
THE VICTIM
Stuart Lubbock, a dad-of-two, from Harlow in Essex, worked as a meat factory supervisor and had recently separated from the mother of his children.
Friends said at the time the 31-year-old “doted” on his “lovely children”.

That evening
On March 30, 2001, Barrymore, then aged 49, and boyfriend Jonathan Kenney enjoyed an Indian meal, knocking back Sambuca and wine, before heading to Millennium nightclub in Harlow, Essex.
Barrymore, then host of Kids Say the Funniest Things and My Kind of Music, was assigned two doormen upon his arrival for security reasons.
That night Stuart Lubbock, 31, and his brother Kevin were also partying at the club when they soon lost each other in the crowd.
Stuart had broken up with the mother of his two children a few months earlier, so when they were separated, Kevin assumed Stuart had gone home with a woman.
Instead, he had met Barrymore and his entourage. They went to Barrymore’s £2million home in Roydon, Essex, for an after-party.
The tragedy
Barrymore described Stuart as a “nice guy” who “seemed really happy”, splashing around in his pool. But at 5.46am his lifeless body was found n the water, according to three witnesses including Barrymore.
Trained in first aid, Kenney rushed to revive Stuart, as did paramedics who had been called, but he was pronounced dead at 9am. Barrymore was so “panicked”, he fled before police arrived.
He said at the inquest: “That was not the right thing to do, I was panicking.”
The location

Drunk and bleary eyed, Barrymore and the group took a taxi around three miles back to his mansion at around 2.30am on the morning of March 31.
The impressive five-bedroom property boasted a hot tub and heated pool, all set within private, gated grounds. Inside, the home had three ensuite shower rooms, a bathroom and a studio office.
Post-mortem
Initially police didn’t treat the house as a crime scene and accepted Stuart had drowned after a toxic combination of heavy drinking, cocaine and ecstasy.
However, post-mortem tests later discovered Stuart had sustained severe anal injuries.
Inquest
Image: PA) PA)
Essex coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray recorded an open verdict at Stuart’s inquest in 2002, failing to conclude what exactly caused his death.
Three out of four pathologists who gave evidence were unable to provide an exact cause of death.
One of them, Professor Christopher Milroy, said it was possible that Lubbock had been grabbed around the neck, but that drowning was the most likely cause of death. But three other pathologists said they could not confirm that he had drowned.
Professor Jack Crane said: “We have the death of a young man which, in my view, is not clear-cut. The injuries suffered were severe, I do not believe they were the result of a consensual sexual act.”
In 2018 Stuart’s father Terry, made a bid for a new inquest to be opened, but the Attorney General refused the application because there was no new evidence likely to overturn the open verdict.
Evidence
Essex Police have said crucial evidence was removed from the crime scene. A swimming pool thermometer from the hot tub went missing and a broken shed handle, seen by officers, also disappeared.
During a briefing at Essex Police HQ this week Det Ch Ins Stephen Jennings said the items could have been used in a sexual assault on Stuart before going missing.
The key players
Including Stuart, there were eight guests present at Barrymore’s fateful pool party.

Arrests

Barrymore, Kenney and Merritt were arrested in connection with Stuart’s death in 2007 but never charged due to a lack of evidence.
Barrymore subsequently sued Essex police for “ruining his career”, claiming the wrongful arrest cost him £2.5million in earnings.
But last July an Essex Police spokeswoman said Barrymore’s claim had been discontinued and the force had not made any payment to the star.
The Strike It Lucky presenter, who since appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Come Dine With Me, has always denied any involvement in Stuart’s death.
Last year the 67-year-old did an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, where he tearfully reflected: “I could not be more sad. I could not be more sorry that this took place. Stuart’s family deserve proper answers and the police have not completed their inquiries properly.”

Stuart’s father, Terry, right, now aged 75, has fought for justice ever since his son’s death.
It has totally consumed him and even now, in ill-health and living in a care home, he carries on.
“All I live for is to see Stuart get justice,” he said this week. “And I’m determined that I will live to see Stuart get justice.” Making a plea to Barrymore, he said: “It’s time Michael. I think you know more about this than you have said.”
Mr Lubbock says tomorrow’s Channel 4 documentary brings him hope the case will finally be cracked.
Reward
Police have issued a fresh appeal in the case, offering £20,000 to anyone who can share “new information”.
DCI Jennings told the Chelmsford press conference this week: “We know not everyone at that party was responsible for what happened, but someone was. Not everyone at that party may know what happened, but someone does. It is never too late to do the right thing.”

Footage of the litter-bugs will be captured on CCTV and uploaded to council-run “walls of shame” or YouTube in a bid combat a recent 50% growth in fly-tipping
Councils fed up with fly-tipping are fighting back by sharing photos of their “most wanted” offenders.
With incidents soaring by more than 50% in six years, a growing number of authorities have decided to publicly identify those responsible for littering the streets.
Using CCTV cameras, footage of the litter-bugs is then captured and uploaded to council run “walls of shame” or YouTube.
Members of the public are then encouraged to view the footage and identify the fly-tippers to hit them with fines.
The London borough of Barking and Dagenham is one of the councils leading the fight back with a “wall of shame”, which has seen the amount of rubbish fly-tipped in the area fall by 25% since it was introduced last year.
Videos uploaded on its website were viewed hundreds of thousands of times with 37 fly-tippers identified and fined.

Printed leaflets with photos of offenders are also being distributed to households in the vicinity of the offence.
Council leader Darren Rodwell said: “What we are trying to do is say, ‘Look, if you are selfish and inconsiderate, expect us to penalise and embarrass you because this is not acceptable.’
“If you do this we will ask the rest of the community to tell us who you are and we will then find you.”

Other London boroughs to successfully set up their own walls of shame include Redbridge and Haringey, while in Luton and Hull they are using CCTV to film and catch those fly-tipping.
In Wigan lightweight cameras with infra-red and night-vision technology which run off phone SIM cards are fixed to lampposts and trees in hot spots.
Fly-tipping there has fallen by a third since 2013, bucking the national trend.

And the wall of shame tip-offs have seen relatives turn on each other. One woman was hit with a £400 fine for dumping black sacks of rubbish. She was identified by her daughter, who was unhappy that her mother had previously grounded her.
Another was a husband who informed the council about his wife dumping a mattress.
“I can’t say why he shopped his wife, but I imagine it was an interesting conversation,” said Mr Rodwell.

Along with other councils, it is also calling for the Government to beef up the punishments that can be handed out to fly-tippers.

EXCLUSIVE: After getting clean at a secure hospital ward for detox, Vince Brown, of Abercynon, south Wales, now works supporting other problem drinkers
Dad drinking 15 pints a day to pass the time while waiting for NHS operation
Rugby fan Vince Brown told how old playing injuries meant he had to quit work and ended up downing beer, vodka and brandy all day “to pass the time”.
The 56-year-old spent years on an NHS waiting list for two knee replacements due to problems triggered from when he snapped knee ligaments playing in his 30s.
Eventually, struggling to walk, he had to give up his career as an aerospace technician in his early 50s.
The married father-of-two explained: “I had always worked between 10 and 16 year hour-days so when I was signed off work by the GP I had a lot of time on my hands.
“I started going down the pub in the afternoon while I waited for the wife to get home from work.
"Then I realised it was cheaper just to buy it from the supermarket.
“I started on beer and then it was wine, then I started mixing beer and wine on a daily basis.
"Then it was vodka and brandy because you just want to get the same feeling.
“My wife was supportive but she started to get very agitated about my drinking, but I was just ‘oh, leave me alone’.
"I would think nothing about going down the rugby club at 10am to watch the game then staying there drinking until 10pm.”
At his worst Vince was drinking the equivalent of 15 pints of beer a day.
After getting advice from charity Addaction’s ‘Drink Wise Age Well’ service, Vince was taken in to a secure hospital ward for detox.
Such heavy drinkers can undergo seizures if they suddenly stop without support.
Side effects can include anxiety, shaking, stomach cramps, headaches and hallucinations.
Vince, of Abercynon, south Wales, now works supporting other problem drinkers as a Drink Wise Age Well programme supporter.
He said: “It’s usually retirement, empty nest syndrome, bereavement or illness that bring it on. Life changing events that tend to affect you when you’re older.
“Drinking is a big part of the British culture I’m afraid. I started working at 16 and would go for a drink with workmates.
“It was a right of passage to go to the pub and then the club at the weekends, but I was drinking no more than anyone else around me then.
“It’s about changing the culture and that seems to be happening to the younger generation.”
