Jeremy Thorpe Conspiracy?
I felt the gun press against my head... and heard a click: In the final part of his gripping memoir, NORMAN SCOTT describes Jeremy Thorpe's shocking attempt on his life - and the Establishment conspiracy to protect the Liberal MP
Norman Scott, now 82, (inset) tells how, penniless and mentally unstable, he felt he had to allow his relationship with Liberal MP Jeremy Thorpe to continue despite being raped by the politician. In today's final extract he gives a terrifying account of how, having at last broken free, he tried to rebuild his life - only to discover that Thorpe was trying to have him killed: Any stranger entering a pub in a small town like Barnstaple in Devon when I was there in 1974 would attract the attention of the regulars. So I noticed the man immediately, not least because he seemed to be edging towards me. He was wearing a dark blue donkey jacket with a roll-neck jumper and smoking a pipe. When he got close, I asked him to move away as the smoke was so revolting. With a scowl, he moved off to stand in a corner -but kept looking at me. I couldn't help feeling uneasy. Just days before, the police had warned me that if I stayed in the area, I was at risk of serious injury. Even my own solicitor had advised me to leave the country. Pictured left, the hitman hired by Thorpe, Andrew Newton at Minehead Court on 20 February 1976, top right, a jubilant Jeremy Thorpe and his wife Marion after his acquittal at the Old Bailey from the charge of inciting to murder, 22 June 1979, bottom right, Dennis Meighan, who provided the gun used to shoot Norman Scott's dog, Rinka, pictured right.
