There is no departure card in the Immigration
Department records for flight SQ631 in respect of anyone named
"Godber". All other passengers are accounted for by departure
cards. However, there can be no doubt but that Godber travelled to Singapore on flight SQ631. A copy of the Singapore
Disembarkation card made out and signed by him and containing the correct number of his passport (viz. no.57699) was obtained from the Singapore authorities by Mr. Henry.
"F" is attached to this report.
A copy marked
Returning to Ir. McNutt's investigations on Sunday 10th June, all known acquaintances of Godber were contacted.
Everyone he spoke to denied any knowledge of Godber's departure.
Eventually at about 8.30 p.m. on 10th June, a Superintendent Kwok, who is known to be a friend of Godber, said that on the
evening of 7th June he had been at the home of Er. D.G. Lloyd for dinner, and that Mr. Godber had arrived at the Lloyds' flat
and had spoken to Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Morrin then contacted Mr. Lloyd
and the latter confirmed Godber's visit and also said that it was
his wife (rs. Lloyd) who had accompanied irs. Godber to Kai Tak
on 7th June. Mr. Lloyd claimed to know nothing of Godber's
whereabouts, but he said that Godber fully expected to be
arrested on Monday 11th Junc. Morrin asked Lloyd to submit
a full statement of his meetings with Godber. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
submitted statements on 11th June and further statements on 12th
and 18th June. Attached to ra. Lloyd's statement of 18th June
there was a letter written by Mrs. Godber to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
beginning "My dear Lindy and David" (a copy of this letter is attached marked "G"). It appears that this letter was written
from Sussex on Saturday 11th June. Also, just after midnight on the night of 11th/12th June, Mr. Lloyd informed Ir. Morrin
by telephone that he had received a cable apparently from
Mr. Godber in Rye, Sussex. It read: "Request you supervise all
personal effects at my quarter. Letter following. Peter Godber".
The letter arrived in due course. It was apparently
written from Rye Sussex; and it is dated 10th June 1973. It
begins "ly dear David" and is signed "Peter". A typed transcription
of the letter is attached and marked "H".
