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 or 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 r. Henry.
A copy marked
"F" is attached to this report.
Returning to r. cNutt's investigations on Sunday 10th June, all known acquaintances of Godber were contacted. Everyone he spoke to denied any knowledge of Codber'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 Ir. D.G. Lloyd for dinner, and that Mr. Godber had arrived at the Lloyds' flat and had spoken to Ir. Lloyd. Fr. orrin then contacted Mr. Lloyd and the latter confirmed Godber's visit and also said that it was his wife (rs. Lloyd) who had accompanied rs. 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 onday 11th Junc. Morrin asked Lloyd to submit
a full statement of his meetings with Godber. lir. and Mrs. Lloyd submitted statements on 11th June and further statements on 12th
and 18th June. Attached to Era. Lloyd's statement of 18th June there was a letter written by lrs. 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 Mr. Norrin 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.
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 "y dear David" and is signed "Peter". A typed transcription
of the letter is attached and marked "H".
