Police failings in case of Grindr serial killer Stephen Port ‘probably’ led to more deaths

A jury has ruled that there were police “failures” in investigating Grindr serial killer Stephen Port’s crimes and, had they been avoided, some of his victims may still be alive.

On Friday (10 December), an inquest assessing the competency of the Met Police in investigating the murders of his four victims – Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, and Daniel Whitworth, and Jack Taylor – finally came to its conclusion.

The jury, having been presented with extensive evidence over the last for 10 weeks, said there were “failures which cannot be overlooked” when it came to police handling of the investigation.
