NorthernLights Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 14 hours ago, ICTChris said: In among the rather grim news today is the conviction of Stephen Port on four murder charges, alongside a slew of date rape and sexual assault charges. It seems that Port, who constructed a puffed up online persona, picked up young men on Grindr and fulfilled his sexual fantasies of having sex with drugged young men. This lead on to him murdering his victims. Most remarkably, he dumped the bodies close to his flat, personally rang 999 to report one of thr bodies and hand wrote a fake suicide note to put in ones pocket, even writing "don't blame the guy I was with tonight". A true insight into the sick mind of murderer and shocking incompetence by the police. Any P&Bers ever... Actually no I won't try that one. Just last month another Grindr user was convicted of killing and dismembering someone he met on that app - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37717676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38045742 Quote But Barking and Dagenham Police, despite again seeking advice from a homicide assessment team, deemed the death non-suspicious and accepted the note at face value. The prosecution told Port's eventual trial that detectives neither fully investigated Whitworth's movements in the hours before his death nor tried to find the person referred to in the note as "the guy I was with last night". Had they done so it would have led them to Stephen Port. Port's DNA was on the blue bedsheet, on Whitworth's body and on his clothes. It was also on a sleeve that the note was found in. The police already had his DNA on their database. Great work from Inspector Knacker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm not sure I want to agree that they don't give a f**k, they are more likely stretched far more than they should be with their budget getting constantly cut under this Tory government. Still madness that friends of the victims were having to chase the police up to do their job though and still a total balls up.Hopefully the BBC will produce a seedy documentary on the case soon. It's not just Chris who had a morbid interest in this sort of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true though the police suffer massive cuts and things like this are going to be a consequence of that. It's not even up for debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost certainly is up for debate, being useless or disinterested has nothing to do with budgets, the budget was big enough to pay those involved, in Glasgow we've had police being sent out specifically to catch people for dodgy parking and similar, f**k the parking, try and catch those that think nothing of carrying or using a knife.

Easy in hindsight but even the danger of this drug and potential situations seemed very risky. Port seemed to have quite the little network going on. He was a pimp and had an associate who had a ready supply of GBH available. Is he maybe just the tip of the iceberg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 1 minute ago, ayrmad said: No doubt. In all seriousness, blaming Police for focusing on minor crimes is up there with the "they were probably bullied at school line", or "should be catching real criminals" after being caught doing 80 mph in a 40 zone. You're a taxi driver, aren't you? Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
