The police have named the former Prime Minister, Sir Edward Heath, in a child sex abuse investigation. He has been named as a suspected paedophile in allegations of child abuse.
Wiltshire Police have appealed for potential victims of Sir Heath, who passed away at the age of 89, in 2005, to come forward.
The police are said to now be working with the NSPCC to support those affected; however, they have refused to divulge further information on the nature of allegations against the former leader.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said, “Sir Edward Heath has been named in relation to offences concerning children. He lived in Salisbury for many years and we would like to hear from anyone who has any relevant information that may assist us in our enquiries or anyone who believes they may have been a victim.”
