LONDON - Ms Ghislaine Maxwell, the youngest child of former media tycoon Robert Maxwell, broke a five-year silence about her father's death yesterday, saying she believed he was murdered.

She told the celebrity magazine Hello! there was no evidence of suicide or a heart attack. "I think he was murdered," she said in an interview. "One thing I am sure about is that he did not commit suicide. That was just not consistent with his character."

Mystery has surrounded Robert Maxwell's death since he went over the side of his yacht off the Canary Islands on November 5th, 1991.
