Sir Lionel Alfred Luckhoo (March 2, 1914-December 12, 1997) was the ambassador of Barbados and Guyana, the only person to have been an ambassador for two sovereign nations simultaneously. He was knighted twice by the Queen of England, served as Lord Mayor of Georgetown, Guyana, and presided as Judge of the Supreme Court of Guyana. Sir Lionel Luckhoo held the distinction of being acknowledged in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most successful criminal attorney, with over 245 successive murder acquittals.
Sir Lionel Luckhoo had spoken at the United Nations, to presidents, kings, parliaments, bar associations, cabinets, etc., all over the world. He wrote several books, which he gave away gratis. After having diligently studied Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed and numerous other religious leaders, Sir Lionel accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour on November 7, 1978.
He stated:
<The bones of Muhammad are in Medina, the bones of Confucius are in Shantung, the cremated bones of Buddha are in Nepal. Thousands pay pilgrimages to worship at their tombs which contain their bones. But in Jerusalem there is a cave cut into the rock. This is the tomb of Jesus. IT IS EMPTY! YES, EMPTY! BECAUSE HE IS RISEN! He died, physically and historically. He arose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of God.> 1914LL001
