‘No way’ Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide, Epstein victim’s dad Sky Roberts tells Piers Morgan
THE distraught dad of Prince Andrew’s sex abuse accuser sensationally ruled out suicide last night – and insisted: “Somebody got to her.”
Sky Roberts said that he “couldn’t believe” Virginia Giuffre had died by suicide, emphasising that there was “no way” it was true.

The mourning dad said: “There’s no way she did that. Somebody got to her.”
The dramatic twist comes just days after Giuffre was found dead at her remote farmhouse, an hour north of Perth on April 25 after years of torment.
Her family confirmed her death and said she had been a “lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking”.
Roberts told Piers Morgan Uncensored: “Well, first of all, I couldn’t even believe it. I mean, I started crying right away.
“I’m still crying. I can’t believe that this is happening. It just, it’s impossible.”
His comments echoed that of Ms Giuffre’s Australia-based lawyer, Karrie Louden, who said there were “big question marks” over her death.
She said Ms Giuffre was looking to the future, making plans and showed “no signs” of wanting to end her life in the days and weeks before last week’s tragedy.
An investigation by major crime cops Down Under and the local coroner in Perth has already begun.
The mystery deepened after a 2019 tweet written by Virginia resurfaced in which she said: “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal.
“If something happens to me…do not let this go away. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”
Roberts said he wanted his daughter to be remembered as someone who “got out of a bad situation and made a good situation out of it”.
He added that she was “helping a lot of other young girls that were feeling the pain of what goes on with people like that”.
“I think she’s strong, very strong, and that’s why I don’t think she committed suicide,” he emphasised.
“She had too much to live for. She had her foundation.”

The bombshell interview comes after Giuffre’s sudden death in April which opened a Pandora’s Box of unanswered questions.
The most prominent victim of notorious Epstein was found dead by police before her family revealed she had died by suicide.
During the interview, Piers Morgan asked Roberts about the photo of his daughter with Prince Andrew, and whether it could be a fake.
He then made the bombshell revelation that he had seen it years earlier.
He slammed claims that the picture was fake, saying: “Virginia sent the original picture, so I know it wasn’t faked.
“She was there with him.”
After being asked when he first saw the picture, he said: “Many years ago when it happened.”
Virginia had filed a lawsuit against the Prince, claiming she had been forced to have sex with him in both Epstein’s New York property and on his private Caribbean island[/caption]

Asked about the Duke of York and the £12million out-of-court settlement in 2022, he said it was an admission of guilt – despite the Royals denials.
Sky added: “I don’t care for him at all.
“He’s a powerful royal figure and he just thinks he can do what he wants to do.”
Mum-of-three Virginia, who was estranged from her husband Robert, had accused the Prince of sexual abuse on three occasions, including when she was just 17.
She said she was trafficked to the Royal by Epstein and his madam, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein was later found dead in his prison cell in August 2019 whilst Maxwell is serving time behind bars in the US for her role.
Prince Andrew was later stripped of his royal roles and banished from public duty in disgrace.

Giuffre’s courage speaking out inspired countless victims of abuse to speak out against their tormentors.
But many aspects of Virginia’s life remain clouded in mystery – from the truth about her alleged interactions with Andrew, to what actually caused her injuries, and the circumstances around her death.
On Wednesday night, Giuffre’s housekeeper, Cheryl Myers, said: “I left her with a family member the night before, we kissed and hugged goodbye at the door as usual and then I got a call on Friday night.
“Like the rest of the world, I don’t know how and I don’t know why.
“She was happy, her mental state was there, she was strong… but also I can understand.”
You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
