I sawMPkill boy, says victim

A CONSERVATIVE MP murdered a young boy during a sex party attended by a group of men in the 1980s, it has been claimed.

A former victim of sexual abuse made the claims and says he knows of three murders linked to a child-sex abuse ring involving powerful men.

The claims illustrate the complexity of the task facing the Metropolitan Police in investigating accusations of historical abuse

‘I am not sure how I got out of that. Whether I will ever know why I survived, I am not sure.’

Complainant identified only as Nick said to be linked to politicians. Some of these new claims emerged at the weekend when a man in his 40s, identified only as Nick, gave an interview to the BBC in which he said he was the victim of abuse by MPs and senior military figures for nine years.

A much more detailed account was published yesterday in The People newspaper based on the same victim’s complaints to police.

He said he had been in a room in which a boy, 12, was strangled by a Tory MP at a London townhouse in the 1980s. He said that he and the boy, who had brown hair but whose name he did not know, were taken there in a chauffeurdriven car to be sexually abused.

‘‘I watched while that happened. I am not sure how I got out of that. Whether I will ever know why I survived, I am not sure,’’ he told the newspaper.

The People reported that a second witness had corroborated some of the information related to the case.

Nick said that 18 months later a second boy was murdered in the presence of another Conservative politician, this one a minister, during a brutal sexual assault. He said that a third boy, aged 10 or 11, was killed by someone connected to the same paedophile ring when he was deliberately run over by a car in a London street.

Nick said his father supplied him to the paedophile network and he was regularly taken to be raped at sex parties at Dolphin Square, a block of apartments in Pimlico, where many MPs had flats, and other locations in London.

One of those who repeatedly raped him was the minister, he said.

The victim has given police the name of the MP he says killed a boy and of other abusers, and helped to create identikit pictures of the murdered children.

Scotland Yard referred inquiries yesterday to a statement it made public on Saturday in which it confirmed that it had received an allegation of ‘‘possible homicide’’ but declined to comment further.
