POLICE investigating historic sex abuse allegations launched a new investigation yesterday into “possible homicide.”
Scotland Yard said that officers with Operation Fairbank looking into claims that there was a paedophile ring with links to government had been made aware of allegations concerning “serious non-recent sexual abuse.”
“Our inquiries into this, over subsequent weeks, have revealed further information regarding possible homicide,” a spokesman said.
“Based on our current knowledge, this is the first time that this specific information has been passed to the Met.”
He added: “At this early stage in this inquiry, with much work still to do, it is not appropriate to issue appeals or reveal more information.”
Detectives from the child abuse investigation command are working with colleagues from the homicide and major crime command concerning this information, which is being looked at under the name of Operation Midland.
Operation Fairbank was launched in response to information passed on by MP Tom Watson, who used parliamentary privilege to air claims of a paedophile ring with links to government.
