Savile abuse part of Operation Yewtree probe 'complete'

The strand of a police operation investigating abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile has been completed, with the number of alleged victims believed to be over 500, the BBC understands.

Scotland Yard said Operation Yewtree, the inquiry into historic abuse, was collating its report and hoped to publish early in the New Year.

Yewtree has three strands - offences committed by Savile, those by him and others and those just by others.
