"Whilst we realise that Watson was a pretty dismal physician and perhaps would have been better suited to a career at Scotland Yard, my colleagues and I feel very strongly that there's been an almost unhealthy zeal about the way the media has handled this business which quite frankly borders on hysteria. People's lives and careers are at stake here and immense care has to be taken to ensure that only the guilty are brought to book."</p> <p>Fresh rumours were again ignited last night as the Twitter social networking site was swamped by an avalanche of tweets making thus far unfounded allegations and complaints about Dr Josef Mengele, dubbed The Angel Of Death, who, it's alleged, conducted a number of macabre experiments on concentration camp prisoners during the second world war.</p> <p>His great grandson Herman Mengele strongly defended his grandfather last night saying. "He may well have experimented on helpless camp internees but he didn't want to do it, Hitler forced him into it.. He wanted to let them off!"</p> <p>In a rather bizarre twist Scotland Yard earlier announced to the media that ex Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has been arrested and taken in for questioning after being linked to the recent Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal. The yard issued a statement which said. "We have arrested a 61 year old male on suspicion of a number of sexual offences and while he's not a doctor as far as we know, he is a complete and utter nob and as far as I'm concerned he's had it coming for a long time". </p>
