Police smash gang linked to ‘torso’ boy

DETECTIVES hunting the killer of the “torso in the Thames” victim last night said they had smashed the gang suspected of smuggling the African youngster into Britain.

In a dramatic dawn raid, more than 200 officers swooped on nine London addresses and arrested 21 people suspected of people trafficking and immigration offences.

The move could take police a step closer to finding the murderer of the unknown boy, called Adam, whose mutilated torso was found floating near Tower Bridge in September 2001.
