External diligence carried out on places visited in Lagos by Robert Murat 2007.05.15
Officers: Carlos L. and Joao F., Inspectors.
Today, as ordered, we went to the city of Lagos to determine the various residences used an/or owned by R.Murat or his family members.
— Having gone to Elras Velhas behind the Celero restaurant, next to the EN125, in Almadena, it was possible to speak with a resident of the area having land next to Elras Velhas, who affirmed knowing Murat very well, having given him exclusive rights to sell some land when he worked for the Remax estate agency, and that his [RM’s]mother had sold her Elras Velhas property long ago, not knowing exactly how long ago but he was sure it will have been during RM’s divorce.
— Visually checking the mail boxes outside the property the names of R.P.Harris and R.Elliot were noted.
— At the address of Urb. Chesgal … in Lagos it was possible to determine from the owner of the ground floor apartment that the referred apartment had been acquired by an individual named Miguel about 10 (ten) years ago, she also having stated that she remembers that the first owner had been a foreign female not knowing her nor remembering her name.
— At Rua do Jogo da Bola – Lagos, it was not possible to locate the “Bora” café or any other commercial establishment. That café was then found on Rua Conselheiro Joaquim Machado in Lagos, the proprietor of which, in conversation, stated that he did not know R.M. nor had he ever seen him frequent his establishment.
— With the intention of location Quinta do Sto. Phunurius, it was possible to verify that it was in Rua D. Joao III in Ameijeira – Lagos, and in conversation with several residents it was possible to determine that it was a Quinta [farm estate] owned by an English citizen and managed by a North American man who lives at Travessa do Forno in Lagos, the people also having stated that the Quinta is used for “parties” of a sexual nature.
— It was not possible, however, to determine if R.M. currently frequented that Quinta.
— Nothing more was recovered of interest to the present investigation.
