Starr bailed for second time in Savile abuse probe

Comedian Freddie Starr was released on bail for a second time last night after being questioned by police investigating the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal.

The 69-year-old returned to speak to officers yesterday having been first arrested on Thursday on suspicion of sexual offences, and then bailed in the early hours of Friday morning.

He has been rebailed to a date in December, Scotland Yard said last night.
