NORTHERN IRELAND
Belfast Telegraph
BY LIAM CLARKE – 23 JANUARY 2015
At least one Tory MP visited Kincora during the 1970s when it was riven with sexual abuse by staff of boys in their care, it has been claimed.
The allegation was made by two retired detectives who were part of a team which investigated the east Belfast boys’ home in the 1980s and successfully prosecuted three members of staff for sexual abuse.
The names of the police officers are being withheld for security reasons. They are instead referred to as officers Smith and Jones.
Both are known to the Belfast Telegraph and we have established that they conducted the inquiry. Both are also willing to help any inquiry into Kincora either here or in England. They revealed that the MP died before they could arrange to interview him.
