The men allegedly murdered him, before dismembering him and placing his remains in a suitcase.

Speaking in the new documentary, the devastated daughter said: "I do feel he was telling the truth. He wanted to remain anonymous. I spoke to him and said, 'Can you call the hotline?' and he said he'd be happy to do that."

Two months later, an unnamed contact of the show's presenter, Professor David Wilson, was reportedly able to track the man down.

He said: "It took a few weeks, I tracked him down last week. He said he was friends with Robert Duff.

"Two men invited [Robert] back to Bredgare road. One of the men had made sexual advances towards Robert and a fight ensued. Robert was eventually murdered, and one of the men dismembered him. 

"He apparently used to be a butcher, he dismembered him in a flat, they transported him in two suitcases."

The source then went on to claim that Robert's remains were deposited at a pig farm in Epping Forrest.

The sexual motive has never been put forward before and has not been confirmed by police.

Robert's eldest child has also spoken of her dad's disappearance.

Stephanie recently spoke to The Sun and made a desperate plea to her dad's killers to come forward and allow the family some closure.

She said: "Please just finally have a heart and tell us where our dad is. 

"We know you’ve killed him. We know he is dead. Just please tell us what happened so we can finally have peace.

"We need to put him to rest now. It’s been too long. It’s been ten years. We haven't found him or had any real closure.

“His killers know what they’ve done. They’ve seen me and my family in the news, on the telly, suffering. It’s been ten years now, ten years of us suffering.''

She added: "One thing I want to say to his murderers is they should know that we will never give up. 

"They should give up right now because we will not stop until we know what happened to dad."

What happened to Robert Duff?

In January 2013, Robert Duff was reported missing.

The father-of-two from Kilburn, North West London vanished after failing to attend daughter Stephanie’s 18th birthday party on January 12, 2013.

After failing to show, his concerned family contacted the police as they said this was "out of character" for Robert.

They feared Robert, who had previously struggled with drug addiction, had died of an overdose.

On the same day of his daughter's birthday party (January 12, 2013), the dad-of-two was seen withdrawing money from a cash machine on Holloway Road, North London.

This was the last time Robert was seen.

Officers attended his flat and forced entry, but there was no sign of him.

Police believe he may have been killed that same night after getting into a fight – but his body has never been discovered.

His disappearance was treated as a missing persons inquiry until 2018 when a new witness came forward following a television appeal.

A murder investigation was formally launched by police after and two people were arrested and released under investigation.

Then in 2020, specialist divers searched Highgate No 1 Pond on Hampstead Heath, but nothing was found.

After being contacted by The Sun, Met Police launched a fresh appeal for information.

Detective Inspector Tom Williams of the Specialist Crime Command said: “Robert’s family desperately longs for answers, and we remain committed to finding him.

“While current lines of inquiry have been exhausted, the case remains unsolved meaning that any new information received would be acted on and thoroughly investigated.

“The search of the No1 pond in Highgate, was conducted over a number of weeks, but sadly failed to provide any results.

“Not knowing what has happened to a loved one is a torment that no family should endure.

"I believe that someone has information about Robert’s whereabouts and why he disappeared so suddenly and it is my sincere hope that someone, who may not have felt able to come forward in 2013, may now be in a position to share with us what they know.

“If you have information please do the right thing – get in touch and help us bring Robert’s family the closure they so desperately need.”
