DETECTIVES QUESTIONED
Worked With Challenor
(N.Z.P .A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, June 29 Thirty detectives who worked with DetectiveSergeant Harold Challenor, now in a mental home, have been interviewed at the West End central police station by Scotland Yard officers.
A Home Office spokesman said tonight that allegations of bribes said to have been received by Challenor were being investigated. Meanwhile, a Labour M.P., Mrs Joyce Butler, said she intended to put down a question for the Home Secretary (Mr Brooke) for Thursday.
This would ask: “What Investigation he is making into evidence 'hat Detective-Ser-geant Harold Challenor took bribes in the course of his duties and if he will make a statement.” Mr Brooke asked the Metropolitan Police Commissioner for a report on Challenor after comments passed by Mr Justice Lawton in the Old Bailey last week. Three policemen were then sent to prison on charges of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
Earlier, Detective-Sergeapt Challenor had been found unfit to plead and was ordered detained indefinitely.
