The extent of child sexual abuse by the British 'elite' is massively underestimated
A Conservative MP murdered a young boy during a depraved sex party in the 1980s, an alleged victim of the Westminster paedophile scandal has claimed.

The 12-year-old boy, who was being abused by a group of men, was strangled by the politician at a luxury townhouse in front of other victims, it has been alleged.

On another occasion, the victim claims a young boy, who was around ten-years-old, was deliberately run down and killed by a car being driven by one of his abusers.

The alleged murders are among three that are now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police as part of a major probe into claims that a powerful paedophile ring with links to Westminster was operating in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s.

Scotland Yard, which set up Operation Fairbank two years ago to look at the abuse claims, announced on Friday it had launched a fresh strand of the inquiry, entitled Operation Midland, to probe the alleged murders.

The allegations emerged after a man, who is now in his 40s, came forward claiming to have been one of around 15 boys, who were abused at the hands of a powerful paedophile network operating some 30-years ago.

He claims after being handed to the group by his father, he was regularly picked up in cars and taken to hotels and apartments, where he was physically and sexually abused by "senior military and political" figures.

Some of the abuse allegedly took place at flats in the Dolphin Square development in Pimlico, where a number of politicians have London homes.

The man, who has spoken at length to Scotland Yard detectives, said he had witnessed two murders of abuse victims by members of the group.

He told the Sunday People that he had been in the same room as a 12-year-old boy, when a Tory MP throttled him to death.

He described the boy as being around 12-years-old and having brown hair, but said he did not know his name.

The murder was allegedly witnessed by another abuse victim who was in the room at the same time.

He 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."

On another occasion he claims a member of the gang deliberately ran over one of the victims, in what he described as an effort to demonstrate their power.

A third boy was murdered during a depraved orgy at which another Tory MP was present, the man has told detectives.

On Friday, Scotland Yard announced that it was now investigating a "possible homicide" as part of its ongoing probe into historic child sex abuse.
