I saw MP throttle young boy to death

EXCLUSIVE: Cops probe three murders after claim

- By Mark Conrad and Keir Mudie, SOCIAL AFFAIRS CORRESPOND­ENT

A VICTIM of the Westminste­r paedophile abuse scandal has claimed he saw a Conservati­ve MP murder a young boy during a depraved sex party.

And the Sunday People can reveal that detectives are investigat­ing THREE murders allegedly linked to a network of VIP perverts.

The horrifying account comes days after Scotland Yard confirmed they have launched a murder probe connected to allegation­s of sex abuse from the 1970s and 80s.

Today the Sunday People and Exaro investigat­ions agency expose the full extent of shocking events the witness, known as Nick, has described to the Metropolit­an Police paedophile unit.

Nick claims the first death was of a boy aged ten or 11 who was deliberate­ly run down by a car.

Depraved

Another chilling allegation is that he was in the same room in the 1980s when a 12-year-old boy was strangled by a Tory MP.

Nick said: “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.”

Eighteen months later, he claims a third boy was killed by two unknown men in front of another MP.

Nick told of his terror as he and the strangling victim were driven to an orgy. He said: “We looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes. We said nothing.

“I knew we were being taken somewhere to be sexually abused by powerful men.

“But I had no idea of the true horror of what was about to happen.”

Nick had been picked up at an agreed meeting point. He r ecalled: “The car was chauffeur- driven although I can’t remember the make.

“Cars were sent to take us to various locations to be abused. They were often luxury cars with a chauffeur.

“They would be dark in colour – Jaguars, Rolls-Royces, Daimlers or Range Rovers.”

He was driven to a location in central London. On the way the car stopped to pick up another lad.

Nick says the boy had brown hair and was aged around 12 but he never discovered his name. Both lads sat in silence for fear of punishment.

They arrived at a luxury townhouse and were taken inside.

Nick, still traumatise­d by what he witnessed, has given a graphic and harrowing account to police about what took place.

In hours of video testimony, he described how he saw the Conservati­ve MP – who was sitting in Parliament at the time – throttle the boy.

He said: “The MP was particular­ly nasty, even among the group of people who sexually abused me and others. I still find it difficult to talk about these incidents after all these years.”

A second witness has already corroborat­ed some of the informatio­n related to the case, lending weight to Nick’s claims and strengthen­ing his credibilit­y in the eyes of the police.

Nick has also told detectives about the death of another boy during a depraved sexual assault in the presence of a Conservati­ve minister – a different MP to the one involved in the first killing.

Nick believes the car killing was a warning to him.

He says someone in the paedophile network deliberate­ly ran over and killed a boy in broad daylight on a London street. He is convinced the perverts were demonstrat­ing their power and showing what could happen if he spoke out.

Nick said his abusive father supplied him to a group of MPs and other VIPs who held abuse parties at Dolphin Square – an apartment complex in Pimlico, near Parliament – and at other locations in London. He says the minister repeatedly raped him and other boys aged between ten and 14.

His claims are being investigat­ed by police under Operation Midland, a strand of the Operation Fairbank inquiry set up to examine allegation­s of historical child abuse. Exaro helped

to arrange for Nick to pass his crucial testimony to the Met.

On Friday, the Met announced Operation Midland was now investigat­ing “possible homicide”.

A statement said: “Detectives from the child abuse investigat­ion command are working closely with colleagues from homicide and major crime concerning this informatio­n.”

Brutal

Nick insisted a reporter from Exaro was present at a meeting with detectives when he gave them the name of the MP who allegedly murdered the boy, along with a list of other prominent people who he says sexually and physically abused him.

He also helped compile “e- fit” pictures of the murdered boys. Nick went on: “There will be other people who know about the punishment and abuse carried out by this group – drivers of the cars who took the boys to venues, staff at the venues. Perhaps they can now come forward.”

He said he was taken to Dolphin Square at least ten times when parties were held. Different men would enter and leave during the evening.

Nick was around 11 when he first went there for a Christmas party.

He recalled: “We would be ordered not to speak to each other.

“Sometimes I would be driven there with other children. On other occa- sions I would be driven there alone and joined other children there.” He described being led to a heavily curtained flat via several flights of stairs and a “dimly lit, musty” corridor.

And he added: “We were asked if we wanted a drink. It was always whisky. Both MPs were brutal. I was raped over a bath-tub while my head was beneath the water.”

He claimed one MP told him to thrash another lad and “sexually punished” him when he refused.

Last week we told how Nick, now in his 40s, had identified a shamed top diplomat and MI6 chief as one of his attackers. He picked out a photo of Sir Peter Hayman – a former deputy director of the secret service. Hayman, for many years a pillar of the establishm­ent, caused a scandal when he was caught with paedophile literature.

Nick said Hayman, who died in 1992, was one of a group of men who raped him as a child.

He is satisfied police are taking his claims “extremely seriously”.

A statement by Scotland Yard said: “Our inquiries have revealed further informatio­n regarding possible homicide. Based on our current knowledge, this is the first time this informatio­n has been passed to the Met.”
