DEVASTATED

New Lucan book pulled by publisher at last minute | Writer and son of victim furious

- ANDY LINES

A SENSATIONAL new book on Lord Lucan has been pulled days before it was due to be published.

The book contained new evidence on the notorious 1974 murder and claimed Lucan was alive in Australia.

But publisher the Little, Brown Book Group has pulled the plug, apparently due to legal concerns.

The book The Search For My Mother's Murderer is by Neil Berriman, the son of Sandra Rivett the nanny murdered by Lucan.

It was co-written with former BBC journalist Glen Campbell.

The publisher took its decision following the three-part BBC2 documentary, Lucan, which drew record viewing figures in November.
