They are now saying that following the documentary somebody came forward with new evidence . . .
If so – one of the girls ? They will now be in their late 30s, possibly married, probably with families.
Could have 18 yr old sons of their own, and be contemplating the error of their ways in not speaking out
at the time for reasons of youth, misplaced loyalty, and possibly fear combined.
Barrymore's team of the manager and solicitor might well have appeared intimidating to an 18yr old.
Speculation, obviously.

Telegraph has moved up a notch
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/17/stuart-lubbock-murder-police-arrest-50-year-old-man-cheshire/
'"The arrest comes after significant new information came to light following our renewed appeal for information and offer of an enhanced reward, which coincided with a major TV documentary broadcast in February 2020.
"This information has led to us making an arrest and over the coming days we will be contacting all those who were present at the party at the time as well as others who may have information."
"Det. Supt Morris added: "As we stated last February - and have continually stated over the last 20 years - we believe someone or some people at that party know what happened.
"It is important to restate the fact that Essex Police have never given up on this case and that the force is motivated by the desire to deliver justice for Mr Lubbock and his family.
"Stuart's rape and murder has been an extremely lengthy and complex investigation which has spanned over 20 years and remains ongoing.

Verdi, surely if they are now saying 'rape and murder' won't they at some point have to admit he didn't drown.
Nail on head.
Or to put it still more succinctly:
If he was raped to death, then he didn't 'drown'.

Michael Barrymore pool death: Man arrested over murder at star's home in 2001 released on bail
Stuart Lubbock, 31, was discovered in Michael Barrymore's pool on 31 March 2001 after a party at his then home in Roydon, Essex.

A 50-year-old man, arrested by detectives investigating the indecent assault and murder of a man at Michael Barrymore's home 20 years ago, has been released on bail.
The unnamed suspect was freed until 12 April while police continue their investigation.
He had been arrested after "significant new information" came to light.

Despite attempts to save him, Mr Lubbock later died in hospital.

Essex Police Detective Superintendent Lucy Morris said on Wednesday new information came to light following a Channel 4 documentary and police appeal with an increased reward.
She told reporters: "The arrest comes after significant new information came to light following our renewed appeal for information and offer of an enhanced reward, which coincided with a major TV documentary broadcast in February 2020

"This information has led to us making an arrest and over the coming days we will be contacting all those who were present at the party at the time as well as others who may have information."
She added: "We have never given up on finding out exactly what happened to Stuart and we will not stop in our pursuit of justice for him and for his family and friends.
"Nine people were at that party. We know that not everyone was responsible for what happened but someone was. Now is the time to come forward, if you haven't done so already, to set this matter to rest by providing us with any information you have."

The man, who was detained, was arrested "in connection with the indecent assault and murder of Stuart Lubbock", the force said in a statement earlier.
Mr Lubbock's father Terry, 76, said: "There is just so much going on in my head. I can't get my head around it. Of course I'm happy. Of course this is good news. But it's been 20 years. This has nearly killed me."
Harry Cichy, a friend of the Lubbock family, added: "I'm pleased. Of course this is progress. We can only hope it leads to justice for Stuart after all these years."
Barrymore, now 68, was arrested over the death in 2007 and never charged.
He then sued Essex Police, claiming a wrongful arrest cost him about £2.5m in lost earnings, but Court of Appeal judges determined he should get nominal damages.
In 2009, the police watchdog published the findings of a review of the investigation into Mr Lubbock's death, concluding that officers missed crucial evidence and did not ensure vital forensic tests were completed until six years later.
Butcher Mr Lubbock was at the get-together with eight other people.
A post-mortem examination showed he had suffered severe internal injuries which suggested he had been sexually assaulted.
Alcohol, ecstasy and cocaine were found in his bloodstream.

Barrymore was criticised for leaving his home soon after Mr Lubbock was found floating in his outdoor pool.
The entertainer also said he could not jump in and try to save Mr Lubbock because he could not swim, a claim disputed by others who knew the star.
He also came under fire for failing to answer questions at Mr Lubbock's inquest in 2002.
The coroner recorded an open verdict.
Barrymore - who became a household name for shows such as Strike It Lucky - has always denied involvement in the death.
His television career collapsed in the wake of the allegations, although he enjoyed a brief return to the spotlight during a stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006.
He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, last year saying: "I have had nothing to do with this whatsoever and yet I keep getting bashed and bullied by the media."

NOTICE
I have now sold all my copies of my book on the case: 'NOT AWIGHT'.
However, anyone can now read it FREE. Email me and I will send a copy of my download of the whole book.
Don't buy the pirated copies which someone is selling on Amazon, at exorbitant prices, without my consent

I've been meaning to ask Tony how this present abysmal situation of nationwide imprisonment has affected his endeavours in quest of justice in the name of Stuart Lubbock.
Has the judicial system been compromised by the 'thou shall't not' dictate? I imagine the answer to that is yes!
