Michael Barrymore arrested on suspicion of murder

Troubled star one of three men being questioned over Stuart Lubbock’s death

TV entertainer Michael Barrymore is one of three men who have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

After Stuart Lubbock died at the comedian's home in March 2001, an inquest recorded an open verdict but the 31-year-old butcher's father Terry is convinced he was killed.

'My ultimate goal is that the person who murdered my son is punished,' he tells the Daily Mail. 'I'm not in this for revenge. I'm doing it for Stuart.'

Michael, 55, was cautioned for drug offences following the original police inquiry and says in his autobiography, Awight Now, 'The truth is there is no witness, or forensic evidence...which in any way supports the theory that he was attacked at my house'.

Three out of four pathologists who examined Stuart Lubbock's body believe that he suffered severe internal injuries and that he could have been smothered during a serious sexual assault.
