, but nevertheless as we all know thorpe and three others went on trial for conspiracy know thorpe andn trialfor conspiracy to know thorpe and three others went on trial for conspiracy to murder norman scott, they were acquitted, co ntroversially, norman scott, they were acquitted, controversially, a huge shock that they were all acquitted and now we are they were all acquitted and now we a re left they were all acquitted and now we are left hanging with this man dennis meehan and andrew newton, both of whom are still alive, both who may now face further police investigation over the allegation they plotted to kill norman scott. doubtful in my view that andrew newton the former airline pilot will face prosecution because he did a deal with the police at the time giving evidence againstjeremy thorpe and they said he would be immune from prosecution, but we will see. well done into rank kate, all of this happened a0 years ago. i don't think you were born at that time. —— well done! i have been following the bbc series which has been a fantastic amortisation of it but to actually now know

we find thorpe's hit man.who have been watching the bbc as i have, and i know you have, watching the bbc drama series aboutjeremy thorpe will remember andrew newton was the ex—pilot who was hired, allegedly, to go and kill norman scott, jeremy thorpe's lover. his revolver jammed and he's scott, jeremy thorpe's lover. his revolverjammed and he's shot the dog but did not killjeremy thorpe. it was assumed andrew newton, the pilot, was dead. the mail on sunday say they have found him alive and well living in dorking under a different name. that is relevant, because originally andrew newton hired another guy, who is also still alive, to do thejob, to killjeremy thorpe. he had second thoughts about this but nevertheless he is subsequently confessed to the police and the mail on sunday some years ago that he had done this. he says his confession was ignored by the police, forgotten all about and the police, forgotten all about and the police carried out some investigations, but they assumed that andrew newton... stil

it couldn't be shown because we had evidence ofjeremy thorpe's guilt.own and furthermore i was ordered to destroy it by the director—general of the bbc. i declined that offer, i kept it as a tape, i converted it to disk. my dog tried to eat the disc, but i still managed to save it and that's what's running tomorrow night. the documentary will look at the role of andrew newton, portrayed here in the bbc drama. he's the man who has admitted shooting norman scott's dog... your turn. ..before his gun jammed as he tried to shoot scott. newton said he was paid to do it. in 2015, gwent police began looking into the case again after fresh claims newton could prove there was a cover—up. but officers stopped when they concluded newton was dead. now, though, four decades after he made the headlines, gwent police have told the bbc andrew newton might still be alive. they're not saying why they think that, but say they are trying to trace him. norman scott, now in his late 70s, has welcomed the news. i don't think anybody‘s tried hard enough to look for him, i reall

—— thorpe.a jury decided he was not guilty and those of us who had worked with him couldn't do anything else but i accept the jury's verdict. that is the way the system worked. let me ask you now, the jury had to find beyond reasonable doubt. let me ask you, and the balance of probability, not beyond reasonable doubt, do you think it was more than 50% he did engage in that conspiracy? i think that a lot more has come out since the end of the trial, in fact, since he died and peter bessell died and david holmes died, and there is a lot more suggestions, like in the documentary last night, that there might have been a lot of people who wanted to help protect him. i don't know whether any of that is true or not. it is possible and that is all i can say. there is something strange because what is known and what you know is thorpe did have £10,000 on two occasions diverted into an associate‘s account in the channel islands, which was funnelled to someone. what did you think he was doing with that mon

jeremy thorpe and his co—conspirators walked free.ry evidence indicates that they were guilty. even do a jury said evidence indicates that they were guilty. even do ajury said not? yes. andrew newton pointed the gun at norman's head to kill him and it jammed. itjammed at norman's head to kill him and it jammed. it jammed because at norman's head to kill him and it jammed. itjammed because newton kept the gun in his pocket which was full of fluff so it was bound to jam! none of these people have actually been charged with the right offence. norman scott feels a bit aggrieved by that. my own feeling is, i will be delighted to see this film running at last. it was never broadcast in 1979 because of the not guilty verdict? it could not be run, because the film showed only the jeremy thorpe was guilty, and we had all the evidence. but the film concerned itself much more with the cover—up, the conspiracy to protect jeremy thorpe, at a time in the establishment felt it really did not need another scandal. we had had kim philby, the cambridge

more anodyne statement that happened not to mentionjeremy thorpe or the fa ct not to mentionjeremy thorpeeighan was anxious to sign it. as a result of my revelation on that, went police were invited to conduct an investigation into these allegations. the investigation lasted a year and i'm afraid it's been a bit ineffectual, because they said we can't proceed with this because andrew newton, the third member, is dead. sadly they've now had to revise their opinion because they don't think he is dead. the revelation itself therefore is not just that andrew newton may well be alive but more importantly that that was the thing that stopped the investigation, and therefore if he is still alive the investigation could start against. absolutely. it seems to me the investigation must start again because my guess is that... i mean, when i knew newton, when i interviewed him he was a fit young man and i wouldn't be surprised if he is still alive. 0f course, this investigation must now be taken a bit more seriously. let's establish whether he is alive or not. it's not that hard. let's see what comes
