London's Metropolitan Police have opened investigations into the deaths of three young boys, a probe that is tied to "allegations of serious and organized sexual abuse," it announced Thursday.
In a statement, detectives involved in Operation Midland, an investigation launched last month into sexual abuse dating back more than 30 years ago, pleaded for the public's help in tracking down victims, witnesses and assailants.

The abuse is believed to have taken place over at least a decade, at various locations across London and the counties surrounding the capital, including military premises, the police statement said.

"One witness, known as Nick (not his real name) has spoken to us. He has said he was abused from the age of seven until he was 16, from 1975-1984," said McDonald.
