02:30He confided in the fortune teller that his desire to divorce and start a new life with this woman.
02:38And the visit ended with the fortune teller saying that happiness lies ahead for you.
02:44The day he's due to go to meet Jamila, he's in the bar at the hotel, it's a Hilton hotel in Carnes.
02:55The barman serves the earl his second drink of the day at 11 o'clock in the morning when the earl receives a phone call and the remark he makes to the barman is, I have to go and see somebody, but leave the drink there, I'll be back.
03:11He then walks out of the hotel and that is the last time anybody saw the earl alive.
03:18My involvement with the case was in 2004.
03:25A file landed on my desk in the office in relation to inquiries that needed to be done by the French police, a missing person inquiry.
03:35The file related to the disappearance of Anthony Ashley Cooper, the earl of Shaftesbury.
03:42I was in London when I first heard of the disappearance of Lord Shaftesbury.
03:50Clearly, somebody's disappearance is interesting at all times, but if you've got a peer of the realm who is missing in strange circumstances, it becomes even more interesting for obvious reasons.
04:07So, the police in Sussex and the police in Dorset were tasked to go and speak to the family, to family members, to speak to business associates, to get as much background as possible on the earl, his movements, and any place that he may well be that could be traced to.
04:28Lord Shaftesbury was an old Etonian. He'd been to Oxford. He lived on a country estate.
04:39The earl had two sons, Anthony and Nicholas.
04:44The Shaftesbury family are part of British aristocracy. They were very well-to-do.
04:48A flamboyant lord. Somebody with a lot of character, with a lot of influence, with a lot of friends, and crucially, a lot of money.
05:00Houses all over the world. Huge, easy access to ready cash.
05:07This was a fortune which, in total, was worth many millions of pounds, even on the values then, and would have been worth a lot more now.
05:20The earl was essentially a good man, with many, many fine qualities.
05:26He was philanthropic. He was very active in conservation. He'd been honoured.
05:33His family had a noble tradition of humane causes.
05:37He was just the kind of person who would find escape in a cosmopolitan, moneyed, sophisticated area, full of people from all over the world, enjoying themselves, drinking very expensive champagne, eating cordon bleu meals, staying in magnificent hotels, finding pleasure everywhere.
06:07He is somebody who could fly anywhere he wanted in the world.
06:13He could go and see old friends. He might go and have a lot to drink, sleep in for a day or two.
06:21And so, for that reason, there was no real worry to begin with.
06:28The Sussex police sent a report to the French police.
06:33And more aspects of his lifestyle became apparent.
06:41I had a copy of that, and it was fairly obvious from the contents of that report and the people they've spoken to, that the earl led a very hedonistic lifestyle.
06:54There was certainly alcohol involved in his life, to the point, I think, where it would be fair to say that he was an alcoholic.
07:03And this really should have rung alarm bells right at the very start.
07:08There was a lot of slight relationship, by slight relationships, I mean ones that aren't based on a great deal apart from a great deal of money.
07:22So if I had to describe the earl's lifestyle, I would definitely say extravagance and decadence.
07:30So he had a reputation for being a bit of a socialite, a bit of a party-goer.
07:35He had a string of relationships with women.
07:38He would bestow upon them expensive jewellery and gifts.
07:41So there we have incredibly good living, the ability to be able to buy what he wanted, whether it was a new house, a new car, or, dare I say, a new girlfriend.
07:55And that is a classic example of the massive dangers of unlimited inherited wealth.
08:05It's part of the pattern that the earl has had throughout all his life.
08:11He seems to meet beautiful women.
08:15He's smitten.
08:16And then there's a rollercoaster ride because he has money and he bankrolls and they lead a high life.
08:25If a woman in his life who he had married or had been spending a lot of time with wasn't very happy with him and was attacking him in whatever way,
08:36he could just say, look, I'll buy you a house, I'll buy you a car, I'll give some money to your relatives.
08:42And of course this was absolutely disastrous.
08:44I think it would be fair to say that initially, in the first few days, the family were not particularly worried when the earl wasn't in contact with them.
08:57Despite his lifestyle and the fact that he would not contact them for several days.
09:01He had this apparent tendency to go off unannounced, out of contact.
09:08He was unlikely to completely disappear for more than a day or two before people started getting extremely worried about him.
09:18For him then to not have contact for several days in itself was not unusual.
09:23But after those few days had gone, his family, they would generally have some contact.
09:29It was only when that period of time started to grow.
09:34And of course, it was inevitably one of the women in his life.
09:39Nadia was spending a lot of time with the earl by this point in his life.
09:43And she clearly became seriously worried.
09:47His family, who by then were expressing extreme concern about his whereabouts.
09:55So Nadia Ork mentioned this to Lord Charles B's lawyer in the south of France.
10:03And the lawyer thought, well, look, there's something going on here.
10:06It's looking extremely worrying.
10:08And so he went to the police on the 15th.
10:12And then we were looking at a missing persons inquiry.
10:17And then everything could be done to try and find the Lord.
10:24The initial thoughts were that he had done what he'd done in the past.
10:28He's gone on a bender drinking, drugs, women.
10:33And he would turn up eventually.
10:35And then as the days go by, the family were starting to become concerned.
10:44The media was becoming very interested in this story for obvious reasons.
10:49A peer of the realm had gone missing in France from a family,
10:55which is really a part of British history.
10:58Somebody who was a significant figure.
11:01And because he was missing, to begin with,
11:05people were working out theories as to why he might be missing.
11:10I think everywhere in the world captured the imagination.
11:13As part of the investigation, you have to look at the wealth that's involved here,
11:21because that could be a motive for an abduction or a murder.
11:26The apartment that the Earl owned in Versailles,
11:31he'd furnished with £3 million worth of arts, antique furniture alone.
11:37And it would be a fair assumption that criminal enterprise, Russian mafia,
11:44North African gangs would become involved,
11:47because to kidnap the Earl and demand a ransom would certainly be a huge payout.
11:53A missing Earl inevitably leads to conspiracy theories.
12:06Look at the case of British Earl, Lord Lucan.
12:11He went missing in the 1970s.
12:14We still regularly hear conspiracy theories about him.
12:18Very early on, I got the impression that the missing Lord Shaftesbury
12:24was turning into another Lord Lucan-type case.
12:27All the ingredients were there, last seen in a beautiful part of France.
12:33Let's not forget about that.
12:36A whole range of just total off-the-wall speculation.
12:41That would have had the effect of muddying the waters for the French police
12:47and their investigative process.
12:49And so it was inevitable that all these theories came out,
12:53and they were all investigated.
12:55And, of course, all these theories came to nothing.
12:59But what we do know is that he had plans to visit his estranged wife.
13:08And, again, alarm bells should have been ringing.
13:12He's getting divorced.
13:14Let's look at the wife.
13:15He had a penchant for foreign women.
13:20His first wife was an Italian banker's daughter,
13:24a second wife a Swedish ambassador's daughter,
13:27and then we had Jamila Mbarak.
13:34So Jamila Mbarak was born in Lens in France,
13:38and she had a Moroccan father and a Tunisian mother.
13:41She was one of seven siblings.
13:43Her father was a coal miner of Tunisian origin.
13:48By all accounts, it was not a particularly happy childhood.
13:56She eventually persuades her mother that she should go to Switzerland
14:01so she could learn languages, and she goes there with her sister.
14:06In Switzerland, Jamila very quickly drops out of education.
14:11She's found the high life.
14:12She's found clubs, casinos.
14:16Jamila then met and married a wealthy Dutch businessman.
14:20They had two children, but unfortunately, the marriage fell through,
14:23and she left with the kids.
14:25And to support herself after her divorce,
14:28she started working as a high-end escort.
14:31So her clients would include high-profile people and the wealthy.
14:34They travel to France, to Cannes, and then one day she gets a call from a fellow colleague of hers
14:46who had an arrangement to meet the Earl of Shaftesbury in Versailles at his apartment,
14:52and she's not able to make that.
14:54So she asked Jamila if she can do that appointment, which she duly does.
15:03The Earl met Jamila just before 2002, and she fitted his ideal female company to a tee.
15:12There's no doubt about it.
15:17It would be fair to say, at this point, at that first initial meeting, the Earl is absolutely smitten with Jamila.
15:30She's beautiful, she's exotic, the type of woman that he likes.
15:36He makes concerted efforts for them to be together,
15:40to the extent within a matter of weeks, they move to Cannes.
15:46He buys an apartment there for her and him and her two children from the previous marriage.
15:52Of course, when Lord Shaftesbury's family found out that he was not just seeing a call girl,
16:01but he actually wanted to marry her and turn her into Lady Shaftesbury.
16:06Now, the marriage between the Earl and Jamila took place in the Netherlands in November 2002.
16:26If you look at it from Jamila's perspective, this is now this wonderful lifestyle.
16:33She's married into British aristocracy.
16:36There are the trappings of wealth, the huge country estate.
16:41They have apartments in France.
16:44And it's almost as if all her Christmases have come together in one moment.
16:51But the family reject her.
16:53There was certainly one occasion in a restaurant in London
16:56where the Earl introduces Jamila to his two sons, Antony and Nicholas.
17:05And Antony storms out of the restaurant and refuses to meet his father's new wife.
17:15The Earl carries on with his lifestyle even though he's married.
17:18He's drinking heavily and he will go drinking for days and days on end.
17:22When it became clear that there was a lot of antagonism between them,
17:28they couldn't function as a married couple.
17:31And indeed, that Lord Shaftesbury was seeing other women.
17:35The Earl, at this point in time, has a girlfriend, a French woman called Nadia Orche.
17:41And when that happened, clearly Jamila found out what was going on
17:48and that was hugely combustible.
17:51Jamila was hugely angry.
17:54One might even say jealous of the new woman in Lord Shaftesbury's life.
18:01There are arguments developing.
18:02But in the same breath, the Earl, as a wedding present,
18:07has bought her another property, a mill further down the coast.
18:13There are cars that are given to her.
18:16But there are already rifts very quickly coming into the relationship.
18:20And then the marriage between Jamila and the Earl breaks down.
18:27It's no huge surprise to me.
18:29The Earl already had a long string of failed relationships and marriages.
18:34And I think there were a number of factors.
18:36I think some of it was the Earl's behavior,
18:38but also some of Jamila's behavior as well.
18:42So she had apparently lied about being pregnant.
18:45And when the Earl found out about this, he would have been upset.
18:48Jamila's lie about being pregnant seems to me like a desperate attempt
18:53to keep the Earl interested in their relationship.
18:56The whole thing really started to disintegrate in a very serious manner.
19:03Certainly by 2004, the marriage was at an end.
19:08And the Earl eventually started to file for divorce from Jamila.
19:13What is happening at this point is his solicitor has made an offer.
19:19To Jamila in relation to the divorce.
19:23She's asking for a fairly substantial amount of money in a divorce settlement,
19:30which has been rejected.
19:31And this, of course, is a point of conflict.
19:33The police made this rather exceptional appeal for information
19:42into the whereabouts of the Earl of Shaftesbury,
19:46who had been missing for, by then, a couple of weeks.
19:51It was the possibility that Lord Shaftesbury
19:54was going through a particularly unhappy stage in his life
19:57and not just wanted to disappear himself,
20:00just get away from it all.
20:01Nothing was ruled out.
20:03The very fact he's only been married for a year
20:06should have rung at least a very small investigation bell
20:10that should have piqued their investigative curiosity,
20:14regardless of whether there is the appearance of a distressed, worried wife.
20:22We know that on the 4th of November,
20:27the Earl travels back to France
20:29to try and sort out some details of the divorce.
20:34And he contacts Jamila
20:35and tells her that he will be contacting her,
20:39coming round to see her the next day
20:42to sort out some details involving the divorce.
20:47He had claims on other properties of his,
20:51which were dotted around France and in the UK and Ireland.
20:56Lord Shaftesbury was paying his wife
20:58the equivalent of about 10,000 euros each month.
21:02And she also had this flat,
21:06which was duplex in Supercan,
21:09worth more than a million euros.
21:13All the ins and outs of the settlement
21:17were meant to be agreed.
21:18And then he was going to go home,
21:21back to Britain.
21:23What inevitably happened instead
21:25was that, of course, he disappeared.
21:32In terms of how Jamila reacted
21:36when the news broke that the Earl was missing,
21:39this was exactly what one might expect.
21:42She was really upset.
21:44She was inconsolable, distraught,
21:48barely coherent, I felt.
21:50And the only thing I remember her saying,
21:52which was quotable,
21:54was that she was as worried as anyone
21:57about his disappearance.
21:59We have this period
22:00when the Earl is last seen
22:02on the 5th of November.
22:07He was due to return from Nice,
22:09having completed the mission,
22:11which was to confirm
22:13that he wished to divorce,
22:15that he wished to extricate himself
22:16from the extensive financial arrangements
22:19he had with Jamila.
22:23The Earl had been missing for several weeks now
22:26and had no contact.
22:27And it's out of character.
22:29I think you've got to now say
22:31quite categorically
22:34that the Earl has more than likely
22:37come to some harm.
22:38The police focused on Jamila Mubarak,
22:49his wife.
22:51At the time Lord Shaftesbury was missing,
22:54Jamila was acting
22:55in a very eccentric, strange way.
23:00Jamila leaves France
23:01and travels to the Netherlands
23:04and to Germany.
23:06Her brother lives in Germany.
23:09She travels there.
23:11Then she goes to Switzerland
23:13and then eventually to Tunisia,
23:17to her family there.
23:19She was darting around
23:21all over the world.
23:23There were visits to Turkey,
23:25to Germany
23:25and to other parts of Europe
23:29right up for February 2005
23:33when she booked herself
23:35into a place
23:38where she was looked after psychologically.
23:43We know that Jamila checked herself
23:45into a psychiatric unit.
23:48It's a bit hard to know
23:49exactly what was going on
23:50because the details are sparse.
23:51But to me,
23:52there's a few different,
23:54distinct possibilities.
23:54It could be
23:56that she was genuinely
23:57quite upset
23:58in her mental state
23:59and she wasn't coping
24:00related to the Earl
24:01going missing.
24:02Or it could be
24:03that she'd been guilty
24:05of something
24:05and she couldn't take the pressure
24:07which led to a breakdown.
24:08And this really
24:10is where the breakthrough comes
24:12in the French investigation.
24:15When Jamila was
24:15in this psychiatric unit,
24:17she was having conversations
24:18on the telephone
24:19with her sister.
24:20There were clearly
24:25suspicions
24:25by this time
24:27and the police
24:28applied
24:29to bug her phone.
24:32This is very common
24:33in France.
24:34It's not that difficult
24:36to persuade
24:37a judge
24:38to
24:39be able
24:41to bug
24:42somebody's phone.
24:45When the police
24:46listened to the recording,
24:49sometimes
24:50they're speaking
24:51in Arabic,
24:52sometimes in French.
24:53They're speaking
24:54in low voices,
24:55in whispers.
24:58She mentioned money
25:00which she had transferred
25:01to her brother.
25:05At some point,
25:06Jamila
25:07has given
25:08her brother,
25:09Mohammed,
25:11150,000 euros.
25:12She also talked
25:16to her sister
25:17about her intention
25:20of blaming
25:21her brother
25:22for the death.
25:25There was an argument
25:27at her house.
25:28The argument
25:28was in relation
25:29apparently
25:29to some money
25:31that the Earl
25:31allegedly owed
25:32to Mohammed,
25:34Jamila's brother.
25:36When she returned
25:37to the room,
25:38she says the Earl
25:39was dead
25:40and Mohammed,
25:43the brother,
25:44was saying
25:44it was an accident.
25:46He had taken
25:47the Earl's body
25:49into his BMW car
25:52and driven it off.
25:54She'd gone in her car
25:56and followed him
25:57for some distance
25:58and then stopped
25:59while he'd actually
26:01then gone
26:01and dumped the body
26:03and then they'd both
26:04returned to the house.
26:08So if we think
26:09about why
26:10Jamila opened up
26:11to her sister,
26:12why she made
26:13these confessions,
26:14it could be simply
26:14that she just trusted
26:15her sister
26:16or it could be
26:17that Jamila
26:17was just filled
26:18with this anxiety
26:20and this guilt
26:20about what she did
26:22and she just
26:22needed to let go
26:24of that.
26:24She needed to
26:24disperse these emotions
26:26and her sister
26:27was a natural
26:28partner to do this with.
26:33The bugging
26:37worked extremely well,
26:38it has to be said.
26:39They completely
26:41caught Jamila
26:42unaware.
26:45That recording
26:46in the hospital
26:47now gives them
26:48something to ask
26:49Jamila,
26:50something to put
26:51to her
26:51about the whereabouts
26:53of the Earl.
26:54And the 5th
26:55of November 2004,
26:57we use a method
26:57called ABC.
27:00You accept nothing,
27:02you believe nothing.
27:03and you check
27:04everything.
27:09Jamila clearly
27:11realised that a great
27:13deal of evidence
27:13was being built up
27:15against her
27:16and she made
27:18that jump,
27:19which alleged criminals
27:20often do,
27:22from dying everything
27:24to mitigating,
27:26to not saying,
27:27look, I didn't do it,
27:27I had nothing to do
27:28with it,
27:29I don't know what
27:29you're talking about,
27:31but to saying,
27:32well, look,
27:32OK, perhaps I was
27:34involved,
27:34but I wasn't
27:35nearly involved
27:36because, because,
27:37because,
27:37and this is what
27:38she started doing
27:39in this case.
27:40Interviewing a homicide
27:41suspect
27:41involves a strategy.
27:46It involves,
27:48if at all possible,
27:50asking questions
27:51to the person
27:52that you already
27:54know the answer to.
27:55and in that way,
27:58not only are you
27:59finding out
28:00when they're lying,
28:01but also
28:02what they're lying about.
28:06She described
28:08this meeting
28:09back in November
28:102004
28:12as one that was
28:14an important meeting
28:16to sort out
28:17her future,
28:18to sort out
28:19where Lord Shastry's money
28:21would be going,
28:22and Muhammad
28:24had turned up.
28:26There was
28:27an argument
28:28between Lord Shastry
28:30and Muhammad
28:32and then
28:33it sounded
28:33very much
28:34as though
28:35Muhammad
28:36had killed
28:37Lord Shastry.
28:40Although she did say
28:42that it was
28:43an accident,
28:44that he
28:45was an older man,
28:46of course,
28:47Muhammad was a much
28:48stronger,
28:49younger man
28:50and everything
28:51had got out of hand,
28:53that there was
28:53this terrible argument.
28:55Lord Shastry
28:56ended up
28:57with a broken neck
28:58and died.
28:59Her main
29:00line of argument
29:01was that
29:03Muhammad
29:03was to blame
29:05for what had happened
29:06and not her.
29:10So we know
29:11that Jamila
29:12confessed
29:13to the police,
29:14but the natural
29:14question is
29:15why?
29:16I mean,
29:16it could just be
29:17genuine guilt
29:18and remorse,
29:18or it could be
29:20that she realized
29:21that there was
29:21an evidence trail
29:22that was being built
29:23and that the
29:24hands of the law
29:26were literally
29:27squeezing around her
29:28and she realized
29:29that now
29:29was the time
29:30to try and shift
29:31as much blame
29:32as possible
29:33onto her brother.
29:37She claimed
29:38that her
29:39brother,
29:41Muhammad,
29:41had battered him
29:42to death.
29:42That was the
29:46obvious breakthrough
29:47that Jamila's
29:48earliest
29:50admissions
29:51that she was
29:53present when
29:53the Earl died,
29:55albeit that she
29:56was presenting
29:56her own role
29:57in innocent terms.
30:00After putting
30:01Muhammad in the frame,
30:04it was pretty clear
30:05that Muhammad
30:07was in a great deal
30:08of trouble.
30:09Jamila had
30:10really turned him
30:13into the number
30:13one suspect
30:14in the case.
30:20Police
30:20moved immediately,
30:23meaning,
30:24of course,
30:24that Muhammad
30:25couldn't be briefed
30:27as to what
30:28Jamila had been
30:30saying about him.
30:31So immediately,
30:33Muhammad was
30:33arrested
30:34in Munich.
30:35It was just
30:37a day later
30:38that Muhammad
30:39was in turn
30:41arrested in Germany
30:42and quickly
30:43extradited
30:44to France.
30:47Lord Charsby,
30:48or, dare I say,
30:49Lord Charsby's
30:50body was still
30:52missing.
31:02We now have
31:03a situation
31:04where Jamila
31:06and Muhammad
31:06arrested
31:08and they're
31:08being interviewed.
31:10And it's the
31:10comparison of
31:11those stories
31:12as well
31:13that is
31:14vital to the
31:15investigation.
31:18His approach
31:20initially
31:20was to deny
31:22everything.
31:22That's often
31:23what happens
31:24when criminals
31:26are implicated
31:27in very serious
31:28crimes.
31:30He initially
31:30tells police
31:31that his sister
31:32is crazy
31:33and he
31:34wasn't
31:34involved
31:35whatsoever
31:36because he
31:36flew back
31:37to France
31:38on the
31:384th of
31:39November
31:39and this
31:40was proved
31:41and he
31:41spent the
31:41day and
31:42the next
31:42days
31:43with his
31:43family.
31:44The problem
31:45is that
31:46the French
31:47police
31:48quickly proved
31:49that having
31:50flown back
31:50to Munich,
31:51he then got
31:52in his car
31:53a BMW
31:53and then drove
31:54from Munich
31:55all the way
31:56back down
31:57to Cannes.
31:58the police
32:05in France
32:06were very
32:06quick to
32:07establish
32:08beyond doubt
32:09in their
32:10minds that
32:11Mohammed's
32:12story of
32:13not even
32:14being in
32:15France when
32:16the Earl
32:17was murdered
32:18simply wasn't
32:19true.
32:20They did
32:20this through
32:21phone records
32:22which show
32:23that he
32:23was indeed
32:24in France
32:25and had
32:26gone back
32:26to Munich
32:27as quickly
32:27could.
32:33The police
32:34start to do
32:35self-sighted
32:36analysis on
32:37Mohamed's
32:37phone and
32:39also on
32:40Jamila's
32:41phone and
32:42what they
32:42find is
32:44on the day
32:45of the
32:45murder in
32:46tracking those
32:47phones they
32:48both go from
32:49Cannes south
32:51following the
32:53bay around
32:54and then
32:55inland.
32:57Jamila stops
32:58about three
32:59or four
33:00miles away
33:01from where
33:02Mohamed
33:03eventually ends
33:04up and
33:05having got
33:06those locations
33:07the police
33:08are then able
33:08to focus
33:09some searching.
33:11And it was
33:11through phone
33:12triangulation
33:13that they
33:14came up with
33:15this spot
33:16in
33:16Touls-sur-Mer
33:17in a huge
33:18national park.
33:20The obvious
33:21inference being
33:22is that
33:23because they
33:24have driven
33:24out into
33:25the valleys
33:27and ravines
33:29and the
33:29French Riviera
33:30that that is
33:31most likely
33:32where they
33:34have deposited
33:34the Earl's
33:36body.
33:39Jamila
33:40has insisted
33:42that she
33:42didn't help
33:43with the
33:45disposal of
33:46the body.
33:47Jamila has
33:48always said
33:49she stopped
33:49before.
33:51The issue
33:52you will have
33:53is that
33:53whilst both
33:54vehicles stop
33:55you have no
33:56proof
33:58that Jamila
33:59stayed in her
34:00car while
34:01Mohamed drove
34:02and deposited
34:02the body on
34:03his own.
34:04Equally you
34:05don't have any
34:06evidence that
34:07Jamila got out
34:08of her car,
34:09left the phone
34:09in the car
34:10and went with
34:11Mohamed to
34:12deposit the body
34:13because they
34:14both returned
34:15together having
34:16picked up her
34:17car.
34:18Because of the
34:19cell site
34:20analysis the
34:20police now have
34:21an area where
34:22they can focus
34:23their searching.
34:24Five months
34:25after the Earl
34:26disappeared they
34:28discovered at the
34:28bottom of the
34:29ravine the
34:31decomposed and
34:31skeletal remains
34:32of a human
34:33being.
34:33And it was
34:42down a gully
34:43very difficult
34:44to find,
34:45the kind of
34:45place that
34:46most people
34:47would steer
34:47clear of.
34:49It's normally
34:50very hot weather
34:51down there,
34:52very isolated,
34:54lots of
34:54bracken,
34:55lots of
34:56dumping of
34:58litter and
34:58whatever down
34:59there.
34:59Not the kind
35:00of place you
35:01would normally
35:01be looking for
35:02anybody.
35:03The body
35:07had been
35:08left at
35:09the bottom
35:09of a gully,
35:11wild animals
35:12had been
35:12picking at
35:13it.
35:14He had
35:15been dressed
35:16in one of
35:17his suits
35:17and the
35:18thought of
35:19this
35:19distinguished
35:20English
35:21gentleman
35:22ending his
35:24days in
35:24such horrible
35:25circumstances,
35:27he could
35:27only be
35:28identified in
35:29the end
35:29through DNA.
35:30day.
35:33The level
35:33of decomposition
35:34five months,
35:35it makes
35:36causes of
35:37death difficult.
35:39There'll be a
35:39level of
35:39decomposition
35:40that means
35:41that any
35:41injuries to
35:43the flesh
35:43would not
35:44be there.
35:46You would
35:46not be able
35:47to see them
35:47because that
35:49will mostly
35:50have gone.
35:51What you're
35:52relying on
35:53really are
35:54bony and
35:55cartilage
35:56injuries.
35:57There's
35:58always huge
35:58shock when
35:59a body
36:01is found
36:02in any
36:03missing
36:03person
36:04inquiry,
36:06criminal
36:06inquiry,
36:07by this
36:08stage.
36:08and in
36:10this case
36:10there was
36:11huge amount
36:12of shock
36:13but people
36:13by this
36:14time were
36:15still hoping
36:15against hope
36:16that this
36:17very moneyed
36:19individual,
36:19somebody who
36:20could potentially
36:21turn up
36:22anywhere in
36:23the world
36:23under their
36:24own steam
36:25might suddenly
36:27be found.
36:30It took a
36:30full 11 days
36:31to identify
36:33this mangle
36:34corpse
36:35dumped
36:36at the
36:37bottom
36:37of a
36:38valley.
36:40Then as
36:41a result
36:41of DNA
36:42analysis
36:43it's identified
36:44of that
36:45of Anthony
36:47Ashley Cooper
36:48the 10th
36:49Earl of
36:50Shaftesbury.
36:57What they
36:58discovered
36:58during the
36:59post-mortem
37:00was the
37:01cartilages
37:02in the
37:04Earl's
37:05throat
37:05had been
37:06fractured
37:07had been
37:07ruptured
37:08and that
37:10generally
37:11occurs
37:11during manual
37:13strangulation
37:13in other words
37:15where something
37:15has been put
37:16around their
37:16neck
37:17and squeezed
37:18tightly
37:19and that
37:20causes those
37:20cartilages
37:22that are
37:22more delicate
37:23than bones
37:25to actually
37:26fracture
37:26and that
37:29is just
37:30indicative
37:31of manual
37:32strangulation
37:33and that
37:35is what
37:35the cause
37:35of death
37:36was.
37:37But
37:38clearly
37:39this
37:40was
37:40proof
37:41that
37:42Lord
37:43Shaftesbury
37:43had not
37:44only
37:44disappeared
37:45in horrific
37:45circumstances
37:46but had
37:47clearly died
37:48in horrific
37:50circumstances
37:51as well.
37:53Both
37:53Jamila
37:54and
37:55Mohammed
37:55they're both
37:56charged with
37:57the murder
37:57of the Earl
37:58and they're
37:59remanded in
37:59custody
38:00to appear
38:00in court.
38:06So the
38:07case
38:07finally came
38:08to trial
38:09in May
38:092007.
38:11There are
38:12no pleas
38:13in French
38:14criminal trials.
38:16It was
38:16pretty clear
38:17that the
38:18two defenders
38:19didn't consider
38:20themselves
38:21to be guilty
38:22but it became
38:23again pretty clear
38:24once they gave
38:25their testimonies
38:25in court
38:26and they were
38:27cross-examined
38:28that they
38:29considered
38:29themselves to
38:30be innocent.
38:34We had
38:35the recorded
38:36evidence of
38:38the phone
38:38taps
38:38in which
38:39Jamila quite
38:41clearly
38:41talks about
38:42the way
38:43in which
38:43the Earl
38:44died
38:44and paying
38:45her brother
38:46a large
38:46sum of
38:47money.
38:48And in
38:49fact she
38:49paid him
38:50a substantial
38:51amount of
38:51money
38:52around
38:52150,000
38:53euros.
38:55And she
38:56was intending
38:57to blame
38:58her brother
38:58for his
39:00death.
39:01And we
39:01had the
39:02evidence
39:02quickly proved
39:03by the
39:04police
39:04which shattered
39:06the alibi
39:06of her
39:07brother.
39:08He made
39:09this 24-hour
39:10round trip
39:10Munich
39:11purely to
39:13give himself
39:14an alibi.
39:16There is
39:17evidence
39:18of premeditation.
39:20The events
39:21beforehand,
39:22the cell
39:23site analysis
39:23around the
39:25location where
39:25the Earl's
39:26body is
39:26eventually
39:27found.
39:29The flying
39:29away to
39:30Munich,
39:31he then
39:31got in
39:32his car
39:32a BMW
39:32and then
39:33drove from
39:34Munich
39:35all the way
39:35back down
39:36to Karnes.
39:38Covertly,
39:39you could say,
39:40why not just
39:40fly back?
39:41But I think
39:42there is
39:43certainly evidence
39:44there of
39:44premeditation.
39:47The premeditation
39:49in the end
39:51wasn't that
39:53difficult for
39:54the police
39:54to prove.
39:56I mean,
39:56initially it
39:57had been a
39:57difficult
39:58investigation,
39:58but I think
39:59the pieces
40:00fell into
40:01place quite
40:02steadily and
40:03in a way
40:04which they
40:05left the
40:05culprits with
40:06very little
40:07viable defence.
40:09The fact
40:10that they
40:10had been
40:11at the
40:12site where
40:12they dumped
40:13the body
40:13early on
40:14and that
40:15they had
40:17spoken on
40:18the phone
40:18about
40:20sorting out
40:21Lord Sharsby
40:23and indeed
40:23money had
40:24been paid
40:24and of
40:26course the
40:26key bit of
40:27evidence that
40:27Lord Sharsby
40:28had actually
40:29died in
40:30horrible
40:30circumstances.
40:31This is what
40:32gave them
40:33the right
40:34they felt
40:34to prosecute
40:35a
40:36premeditated
40:37murder.
40:39The defence
40:39argued,
40:40well look,
40:41they had
40:42every right
40:42to all meet
40:43up to
40:44discuss
40:44where all
40:45the money
40:45was going.
40:46Things got
40:47ugly.
40:47This was
40:48their final
40:48defence and
40:50as happens
40:50with domestic
40:51arguments,
40:52things got
40:52out of
40:53hand and
40:54a death
40:56was a
40:56result but
40:57that death
40:58wasn't
40:58premeditated,
40:59it wasn't
41:00a murder,
41:01it was a
41:01tragic accident.
41:10Of course
41:11during the
41:11trial Jamila
41:12continued to
41:13portray herself
41:14herself in
41:14the same
41:14way so
41:15she was
41:15this
41:15grieving
41:16widow.
41:17But we
41:18also learnt
41:19during the
41:19trial that
41:20she had
41:20made active
41:22attempts to
41:23find out
41:23what was in
41:24the earl's
41:24will,
41:25so specifically
41:26what properties,
41:27what finances
41:29she would lose
41:30if the marriage
41:31had ended.
41:32So to me,
41:33her outward
41:33behaviour is
41:35all deceitful,
41:35it's all
41:36manipulative,
41:36she knew
41:37exactly what
41:37she was doing.
41:39Jamila was
41:39tearful in
41:40court,
41:42maintaining her
41:44innocence of
41:45any deliberate
41:46act to
41:48cause her
41:48husband's death.
41:50Mohammed was
41:50sometimes very
41:52agitated,
41:53aggressive,
41:54he turned on
41:55the family at
41:56one stage,
41:56blaming them,
41:58shouting at
41:58them and
41:59saying,
42:00you're the
42:00rich,
42:01you're responsible
42:02of this.
42:02Of course,
42:03what he was
42:03doing was
42:05showing off
42:05his temper
42:06and showing
42:06off how angry
42:07he could
42:08become,
42:09and that
42:09didn't do
42:10his defence
42:11any good
42:11at all.
42:12The climax
42:12of the case
42:13was the
42:14Friday night.
42:19On the
42:2026th of
42:21May,
42:22the jury
42:22retired.
42:24Two hours
42:25later,
42:26just two
42:26hours,
42:27they came
42:27back with
42:28a unanimous
42:29verdict of
42:30guilty,
42:31both Mohammed
42:31and Jamila
42:33Mubarak
42:34found guilty
42:35of the
42:36murder of
42:37Anthony Ashley
42:38Cooper,
42:39the 10th
42:39third of
42:40Shaftesbury.
42:43Both were
42:43sentenced to
42:4425 years
42:45imprisonment.
42:50The end
42:51of a trial,
42:52and certainly
42:53the conviction
42:54of people
42:55who have
42:55been involved
42:56in the death
42:57of a loved
42:57one,
42:58will always
42:59come as
42:59a great
43:00sense of
43:01relief
43:01and justice
43:04for the
43:05family.
43:07The Earl's
43:07family is no
43:08different in
43:08that respect.
43:09For them,
43:11there was an
43:11element of
43:12closure.
43:13It's an
43:13overworked
43:14emotion,
43:16but it
43:17exists.
43:18In terms of
43:19my final
43:19thoughts for
43:20this case,
43:20to me,
43:21it is just
43:22a picture of
43:23what can
43:23potentially
43:24happen when
43:24two different
43:25worlds collide.
43:26So on the
43:27one hand,
43:27you've got
43:28hedonism,
43:29you've got
43:29decadence,
43:30you've got
43:31money and
43:31wealth and
43:32boastfulness.
43:33On the other
43:33hand,
43:34you've got
43:35poverty and
43:36desperation,
43:36which obviously
43:37can breed
43:38jealousy.
43:39So I think
43:40this just shows
43:40what the
43:41potential
43:41consequences
43:42of that
43:43can be.
43:43This was
43:44certainly one
43:45of the
43:45more memorable
43:46such cases,
43:49partly because
43:49of where it
43:50happened,
43:52the obvious
43:53glamour of
43:54the south of
43:55France and
43:56the involvement
43:57of nobility
43:57and the
43:59mismatch of
44:01a victim
44:02and a
44:03culprit.
44:04But it's
44:04not a case
44:05I'll easily
44:07forget.
44:07This is
44:09certainly one
44:09of the
44:10most fascinating
44:11and indeed
44:12tragic and
44:13sad cases
44:14I've covered
44:15in my career.
44:17I think it
44:18had such a
44:19tragic arc
44:20to it,
44:21really.
44:22Lord
44:22Shaftesbury,
44:23I have to
44:23say I'd
44:24never met
44:24him before
44:25his death,
44:26but he came
44:27across as a
44:28great character,
44:29as a very
44:29affable and
44:31interesting man,
44:32despite his
44:33personal problems.
44:35there was
44:36some sympathy
44:37for the
44:37Mubarak family.
44:38They came
44:38from a very
44:39hard,
44:40tough immigrant
44:42background.
44:43All these
44:44sort of
44:45storylines all
44:46clashing together
44:47in what turned
44:48out to be a
44:49hugely tragic
44:50and indeed
44:52compelling case
44:53and we saw
44:54it all very
44:56clear what had
44:57happened from
44:57the beginning
44:58right through
44:58to the end.
45:00This case,
45:01to me,
45:03is immensely
45:04interesting
45:04from a
45:06professional
45:06investigator's
45:07perspective,
45:08but also now
45:09as an
45:09academic.
45:11It has
45:12everything.
45:12It has
45:13multiple
45:14jurisdictions.
45:16It has
45:16sex.
45:17It has
45:17money.
45:18It has
45:18murder.
45:21And they
45:22all meld
45:23together.
45:25It's what
45:26makes it an
45:26interesting case.
45:28There is a
45:29saying that
45:30money is the
45:32root of all
45:32evil.
45:33And in
45:34actual fact,
45:35that saying
45:35is not
45:35correct.
45:37The
45:37correct
45:38saying is
45:38the love
45:40of money
45:40is the
45:41root of all
45:41evil.
45:42And I
45:43think that's
45:43what we
45:43had in
45:44this case.
45:45The love
45:46of money.
45:47is
46:02the
46:02love
46:03of
46:03the
46:04earth
46:04and
46:05the
46:05love
46:05of
