By David Williams Hungary faced demands to allow Scotland Yard to investigate the brutal murder of a former British model after her inquest was told a local policeman was a prime suspect in the killing. The family of Eva Rhodes, a friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, claimed officer Horvath Zoltan Peter had a grudge against the 65-year-old and was linked to both her murder at the animal sanctuary she ran in a remote Hungarian town in September 2008 and an orchestrated cover up by the authorities there. The victim’s sister Judith Majlath, a Nobel peace prize winner, told how the policeman had even been part of the investigation into the disappearance and murder despite personally threatening previously Mrs Rhodes would be ‘eliminated.’
