Senior crown prosecutor Andrew Held was unaware of a previous allegation of rape against Port in 2012, or that he appeared to be in the company of a drugged man just days before Anthony's death, despite details of both incidents being contained in police reports.Īnthony's parents, who both believed their son had been murdered, called the police investigation into his death a "travesty".Īdding to their distress, Anthony's father Thomas Walgate revealed the officer who informed him of his son's death initially told him: "Your brother Anthony has died." Meanwhile, a prosecutor told the inquest he was not given information that Port was a suspected sex offender when he ruled out a homicide charge over Anthony's death. Police had seized Port's laptop after Anthony’s death but failed to submit it for forensic analysis for 10 months, and then missed repeated searches for drug rape videos contained on the device. He was arrested for perverting the course of justice and while on bail, Port murdered his next two victims.
