Dr Lionel Trollope

Dr Trollope lived in a fine house on Long Acre, London WC2, a short walk from his offices in Bloomsbury.

The Roby family physician for 30 years, and physician to many well-off London families, Trollope had a fine collection of objets d'art and was well-groomed and well-dressed.

As one of the 3 men who committed Alexander Roby and on the behest of Dr Highsmith, William and Sebastian arranged an appointment with Dr Trollope.

Trollope described the circumstances of the Roby murders and expressed the opinion that Alexander was unfit for release.

On November 2nd 1928, Dr Trollope was murdered in St James' Park. A report of the murder appeared in the next day's Daily Express.

On November 4th, William received a letter written by Trollope on the day of his death, revealing more facts about Roby, and also describing a vision in which he accurately predicted the exact circumstances of his own death.
