Death

Rivett was murdered on a Thursday night at her employer's residence, Lady Lucan's six-storied house at 46 Lower Belgrave Street, London.. Lady Lucan testified that Rivett had entered the basement kitchen to make tea, as the other kitchen facilities were out of operation [ [http://www.ladylucan.co.uk/index1.htm Lady Lucan's web page] . Retrieved on 18 February 2007.] . Rivett was later found dead, bludgeoned by a lead pipe and wrapped in a mail sack in the basement. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/june/19/newsid_2516000/2516103.stm 1975: Missing earl guilty of murder. The BBC] ] [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/southeast/series7/lucan.shtml BBC Inside Out: Lord Lucan Murder Mystery (7 March 2005)] . Retrieved on 16 January 2007.] It appears she was an accidental victim and that Lord Lucan had intended to murder his wife. It can be supposed that the woman stepping into the darkness of the basement could have been mistaken (by the murderer) for Lady Lucan. Lord Lucan subsequently disappeared and is presumed dead by his family.
