Billionaire junkie too ill for wife murder probe

Cops wait to quiz Hans Kristian Rausing


Gaunt ... Hans Kristian Rausing pictured in May

By TOM MORGAN
14th July 2012

COPS were last night waiting to interview billionaire junkie Hans Kristian Rausing after arresting him on suspicion of murdering his wife Eva.

The 49-year-old Tetra Pak heir has been unfit to speak to police since being taken to a secure hospital on Tuesday with drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

At yesterday’s opening of an inquest into the death of mother-of-four Eva, 48, Detective Inspector Sharon Marman said: “Mr Rausing has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and we await notification of when he will be fit to be interviewed.”

Eva’s decomposing body was discovered by officers in a bedroom at their £50million mansion in London’s Belgravia on Monday after Rausing was initially arrested for suspected drugs offences.

Pathologists have been unable so far to find a cause of death, suggesting she had been dead for some time. Barrister Neil Saunders QC, who acted for victims at the 7/7 bombings inquest, will represent Swedish-born Rausing, Westminster Coroner’s Court heard.

Outlining the case, Inspector Marman said: “On July 9 police had occasion to stop Hans Rausing driving a car in Wandsworth. An officer suspected that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. As a result, he was arrested and his car was searched. Within the car a small amount of drugs were found and he was taken back to Wandsworth police station.

“An authority was granted to search his home address. During the course of the search officers found the apparently lifeless body of a female in one of the bedrooms. That female has been identified as Eva Louise Rausing.”

Deputy coroner Shirley Radcliffe will review the case again in October.

Meanwhile, it has emerged American Eva had suffered heart problems and had a valve fitted.

Her mum Nancy Kemeny, speaking outside her £1million home in South Carolina, US, said Eva planned to go into rehab with her husband in California. She said: “Eva was there. She didn’t hear from him and got worried.

“She came back home to get him to go return with her. Unfortunately, I think the flying did something with her heart. Eva had never gone back to the doctor after the valve had been replaced. I think it was this flying back and forth from California to London that may have cost her.”

Nancy also revealed last night that Eva got hooked on hard drugs while studying at the same American college as a young Barack Obama.

She was at Occidental College in Los Angeles in the 1980s when the future US President was also there. Nancy said: “Eva was four years behind him. I don’t know if they met. She went there to study pharmacology. Her first encounter with hard drugs was at the college.” Obama has admitted using marijuana and cocaine around that time.

Police suspect Rausing may have lived with Eva’s body in a bedroom for a week or more. Scotland Yard said last night her death remained “unexplained”.

The sad life and death of Eva Rausing highlights the damage that inherited fortunes can cause
 
***
It’s hard to draw any hard and fast rules about the connection between money and drugs. But, if a psychiatrist wanted to hunt for warning signs, the third generation of a rich dynasty makes for fertile territory. Hans Kristian is a third-generation megabucks Rausing. His grandfather Reuben, an industrious economics scholar and businessman, perfected the technology behind the waxy, ingeniously sealed cartons that made the family fortune. His son, Hans, expanded the company, before selling out to his brother in 1995, having moved to Britain in 1980 to escape Sweden’s punitive tax regime.

By the time the third generation comes around, the work ethic has often dissolved, and the punishing combination of too much money, entitlement and sycophancy can lead to disaster. “It wasn’t that he was spoilt by his parents,” says the Rausing family friend of Hans, “it’s just the terrible effect of a great deal of money.”

The third generation curse hit the Gettys, too. The oil fortune was founded by George Getty in Oklahoma at the beginning of the 20th century; his son, John Paul, became the richest man in America; and John Paul’s son, Sir Paul Getty, turned to drugs.

And that’s why the British aristocracy is so skilled at producing drug addicts. Forget three generations: a millennium of well-cushioned entitlement is the ideal Petri dish for nourishing addiction.

The Marquess of Blandford and the late Marquess of Bristol were supreme examples of aristocrats who liked to mix their blue blood with something a little bit stronger. Only last month, the Marquess of Bath’s nephew, Alexander Thynne, was convicted of growing 26 cannabis plants in his grace-and-favour cottage on his uncle’s Longleat estate; he also had a plentiful supply of Ecstasy and magic mushrooms.

Of course, there are plenty of drug addicts who develop habits without access to Brideshead Castle or a packaging fortune; and there are plenty of Gettys, and Rausings, too, who don’t fall prey to addiction. But, if you are the addictive type, class and money don’t help. For a while, they provide insulation against the logical conclusions of drug addiction. When Eva Rausing was caught with crack at the US Embassy in London four years ago, she was let off with only a caution; a down-and-out would have been slammed in jail. Court fines are nothing to the billionaire addict; criminal silks cheap at the price.

But that insulation is only illusory in the end. The non-rich drug addict eventually hits a wall – their money evaporates; their friends and partners leave; the squalor and boredom get too much. And that’s the moment they give up, if they are ever going to.

The super-rich can maintain the facade – there are always a few sycophants happy to share the Tuscan villa, however zonked out the hosts are. Attentive gigolos and gold-digging girlfriends aren’t hard to find; the raised-print invitations keep tumbling through the letterbox. The Filipina maids clear up the mess; the drug dealer comes to you, minimising any chance of arrest.

Scott Fitzgerald wrote of the rich, also in The Rich Boy: “They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.”

In the same way, the usual rules don’t apply to the rich addict. They have no brakes on their habit – no overdraft, no criticism from the hangers-on, no lonely nights on their own. Well, no brakes except the universal one – the physical capacity of the human body to withstand poison.

Truly, money can't buy happiness. Only a genuine and personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ can fill in the vacuum of the human heart.

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=52708.0
John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
