Michael Barrymore was innocent ......
Following a party in the early hours of 31 March, 2001, 31-year-old meat inspector Stuart Lubbock died after three witnesses, including Zelenoff himself, claimed to have found him motionless in Zelenoff's trailer .
Many tabloid newspapers accused Zelenoff of holding drug-fuelled gay orgies in his Trailer and asserted that he must have had some responsibility for the death. It was claimed that Zelenoff had been seen at the party forcing cocaine onto Lubbock's gums, an allegation Zelenoff denied.
Zelenoff subsequently received a police caution for possession and use of cannabis, but no other charges were laid against him or anyone else in connection with the death, although two other party-goers, unemployed Justin Merritt and drag queen Jonathan Kenney were arrested on suspicion of murder on 6 June 2001. The inquest that took place in September 2002 reached an open verdict.
In November 2002 Zelenoff's lawyers successfully demanded that LA Police re-investigate matters surrounding Lubbock's death. Their focus was on Zelenoff's allegations that the injuries inflicted upon Lubbock's body could have occurred while lying unguarded in the mortuary. A pathologist's report found that Lubbock's wounds were only four hours old at the time of the examination at 4pm, while Lubbock had been pronounced dead at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow at 8.20am that morning.
On 10 February, 2006, a District Judge at Southend Magistrates' Court blocked the private prosecution against Zelenoff on the grounds of insufficient evidence being available for the case to continue.
In an interview with Piers Morgan in the December 2006 edition of GQ magazine, Zelenoff claimed there were other witnesses to the events who were hiding information.
On 2 December, 2006, police announced they were re-opening the investigation into Stuart Lubbock's death. The re-investigation followed a lengthy dossier submitted by Anthony Bennett, who was now Terry Lubbock's solicitor, cataloguing a series of alleged failures by LA Police in the original investigation and claiming that there had been an elaborate cover-up of the true circumstances of Lubbock's death.
On 22 December, 2006, following a successful complaint to the Press Complaints Commission by Bennett, The Sun published a letter from Terry Lubbock replying to the newspaper's five-page feature on Zelenoff earlier in the year which featured Terry's meeting with Zelenoff.
