A body language expert has revealed how Grindr serial killer Stephen Port betrayed his guilty conscience in interviews with police
.
It was only in September 2015 after the murder of Port's fourth victim, 25-year-old Jack Taylor, again in similar circumstances, that he was arrested on suspicion of murder and brought in for police questioning the following month.In another new image he bizarrely clutches a toy fire engine laughing as he stares aheadDuring his interview, Port's stomach-churning internet search history is put to him.
Whitworth was the second of Port's victims to be found in the churchyard only 400 yards away from Port's flat. But the reality, unbeknownst to the few who knew him, was that the 6ft 5in former escort was obsessed with drug-rape pornography, and lured unwitting, boyish-looking, gay men to his flat through websites such as Grindr before fatally plying them with GHB, sexually abusing them, and disposing of their young corpses.
Port became a GHB user towards the end of 2013, and by then had come to the attention of police for allegedly drugging and raping a man on New Year's Eve. Mr Edwards said he also had concerns about Port's drug use, but was reassured by the predator that his interest in young males was legal, and that the drugs were for personal use only.Advertisement When presented with the map, Dr Lansley points to Port's body language to show how uncomfortable he is. 'We're already getting a reaction from Port. Now this is getting near the knuckle now… if you look down here at the trousers, you can see that vibration.
Daynes laments the lack of thorough analysis given to the suicide note by the Met at the time, arguing that the line absolving Port of blame should have been a clear indicator that something wasn't right. The expert adds: 'Now this is an example of switching topic, because the operator is asking for something very specific, and I think the parking, and the car, is a way of him being able to put the phone down, but also explain why is he in that area at that time, in order to find Anthony.'
The documentary argues that this was the first of many failures by the Met to spot the red flags from Port's behaviour. STEPHEN PORT VICTIMS - WHAT HAPPENED IN EACH CASE? Stephen Port murdered four young men during a 16-month period between 2014 and 2015, luring them to his one-bed flat in Barking before fatally plying them with date-rape drug GHB and then dumping their bodies nearby.
Investigators at the scene were not told of a previous allegation of rape against Port on the police national computer from 2012, who was traced as being the person who called 999 to report the body.Another officer deduced there was 'nothing to suggest the victim had been assaulted', despite bruising under Mr Walgate's arms, while sex swabs taken from his body were not submitted for DNA testing.
Requests from the local police officers for the Met's specialist murder investigation team to take over the investigation were repeatedly dismissed, meaning inexperienced officers were in charge of the case. Both men supplied the police with information which would have led them to the serial killer, but they were repeatedly ignored.
The note was not shown to Mr Whitworth's long-term boyfriend, Ricky Waumsley, for a year, and he said he felt cut out of the investigation entirely. Mr Walgate also showed signs of bruising under the arms consistent with being moved or carried before or after his death.
