David Ford v Sir Paul Condon (Commissioner Metropolitan Police)
My StoryIn December 1980 a man by the name of Robert McKenzie died, he was a very rich man and a known homosexual with a string of young male lovers. Prior to his death he had a long term relationship with a young man named Colin Bishop, whom he lavished with many expensive gifts including four paintings by well known artists.The executors of the will is one Derek Sherborne and another man unknown to me, up until 1995 this will had still not passed through Probate and to the best of my knowledge no one has seen the will except Mr Sherborne and one DS Morrison. I feel quite safe in saying that the four painting to which I lay claim do not appear in this will. I will show later that this is the case but for now I will continue with some background. Then comes the alleged robbery in 1982 at Fawns Manor, Bedfont, Middlesex when the four paintings were apparently stolen. After the robbery there was a fire at Fawns Manor in which the property was very badly damaged, shortly after this it was sold to British Airways. The date of this alleged robbery is very important as you will see in the following pages. One would think that in a crime of the size that this robbery is claimed to be that there would have been a large amount of publicity at the time. Surely various organisations such as Interpol and Customs would have been informed and would have been keeping an eye out for paintings of such a high value at all the Sea & Airports. Why did the Police offer Mr Sherborne his property from the alleged robbery back, without arrest, if he gave them the sum of £10,000 in used notes, this instance was the subject of a complaint against the Police which was upheld.
