Scotland Yard's failure to investigate two alleged fantasists who came forward to support liar and paedophile Carl Beech over bogus claims of VIP sex abuse will now be examined by Merseyside Police. The force will investigate why the Metropolitan Police did not take action against the two men despite Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Rodhouse, who was then in charge, concluding they were 'deliberate liars'. The pair, known only as A and B, went to police in September 2015 claiming they could back up Beech's false claims that a VIP paedophile ring had abused and murdered boys in the 1970s and 1980s.
