9.30pm, Doheny avenue, Beverly Hills. A dark blue car approaches the gates of Greystone Mansion. The guard at the gates recognises the driver – it’s Hugh Plunkett.
Waved through, Hugh drives into the estate. After a brief call to Lucy Doheny from the garage, Hugh enters the mansion and is soon alone in a guest bedroom with Ned Doheny. By midnight – both men are dead. What happened on that fateful day?
