London - Detectives are exploring possible links between the murder of a boy whose butchered body was found floating in the River Thames and a simi8lar case in the Netherlands last month.
They are also not ruling out the possibility that the child - whose head and limbs are still missing - was the victim of a paedophile gang or a religious cult.
The unidentified Afro-Caribbean boy, who was thought to have been aged five, died from a violent blow to the neck.
