Barrymore arrives at Harlow police station
Entertainer Michael Barrymore today arrived at a police station to answer bail after being arrested on suspicion of drugs offences following the death of a man at his house.
The 49-year-old was driven in a silver Mercedes into a back entrance of Harlow police station in Essex from his home in the nearby village of Roydon.
Wearing a light blue shirt and dark trousers, he sat in the back with his solicitor, David Corker.
Barrymore was arrested in June on suspicion of possession and supply of a Class B drug, possession of a Class A drug, and allowing premises to be used for the taking of a Class B drug.
His arrest followed the death of Stuart Lubbock, 31, who was found floating in Barrymore’s swimming pool on March 31.
A post-mortem examination revealed the butcher’s assistant, from Harlow, drowned.
Two other men were arrested on suspicion of murdering of Mr Lubbock.
One of them, Justin Merritt, 26, from Harlow, returned to answer his bail at Harlow Police Station at 10am today.
He left the police station shortly after 10am and told reporters: "I have got to come back in two months."
Dressed in grey shorts, a white T-shirt and white baseball cap he declined to say any more to reporters.
The second man arrested on suspicion of the murder was also re-bailed by police today.
John Kenney, 31, from Blackpool, arrived on foot at Harlow police station and was driven away 20 minutes later in a grey Ford Mondeo.
Kenney, wearing a dark suit and blue shirt, was bailed for a further two months.
Barrymore arrived in Britain on Monday from the United States after treatment for "personal problems" at a rehabilitation clinic in Arizona.
