It was Port himself who called 999 to report “finding” Mr Walgate unconscious outside his flat, although he later admitted dumping his body after the pair met for sex.
Anthony was found with his underpants on back to front and inside out, but police said this was “unusual, not necessarily suspicious or sinister”.
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.
In fact, police only checked the national database for Anthony, not Port.
Why did Stephen Port kill Anthony Walgate?
Anthony's killing was part of evil Port's reign of terror.
Port met his victims via online gay and bisexual social networks and dating or hookup apps.
Port used GHB, a date rape drug, adding it to drinks given to his victims, raped them, and murdered them in his flat in Barking - which included Anthony.
