Police are investigating allegations of threats to kill BBC director general Tony Hall, reportedly linked to his decision to drop presenter Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.
Scotland Yard confirmed it was looking into the claims after the BBC decided not to renew Clarkson’s contract because of his unprovoked attack on producer Oisin Tymon.
Mr Hall, 64, and his wife Cynthia have been under 24-hour guard at their Oxfordshire home since the threats were made on Wednesday, according to reports.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Police in Westminster are investigating an allegation of threats to kill. The allegation was reported to police on Wednesday, March 25.
“Inquiries continue. No arrests have been made.”.. see more
