The son of the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan will go direct to the Australian government in his bid to bring the mystery man he believes to be the runaway peer to justice.
Neil Berriman plans to bypass the Met Police and hand a dossier with all the new information on the death of Sandra Rivett to the Australian High Commission in London.
It will include the image analysis by Professor Hassan Ugail – and as it contains allegations of a serious crime, it will have to be passed to relevant authorities down under.
Mr Berriman, 55, said: “There is no point dealing with Scotland Yard any more. I am going straight to the Australians and they can deal with it directly and put appropriate pressure on the relevant police forces. These are scientific facts now – not anyone’s opinion.”
Prof Ugail and a US firm compared pictures of Lucan with a mystery English OAP living in the Brisbane area – and both confirmed they were “a match”.
Mr Ugail, who is Professor of Visual Computing at the University of Bradford and previously identified two Russians behind the 2018 Skripal poisonings in Salisbury, said: “I stand by the science behind my algorithm.
"It’s never been wrong before.”
Scotland Yard claimed Aussie police had already ruled the mystery 87-year-old out of their inquiries.
But builder Mr Berriman, from Milland, west Sussex, believes the man is Lucan.
Lucan fled his home in London’s Belgravia after killing Sandra in November 1974.
Pals claimed he committed suicide by throwing himself from a cross-channel ferry – but no body was found.
The Australian High Commission in London was approached for comment.
