Disband IOPC over Stephen Port inquiry, says friend of Four Lives serial killer’s victim

The friend of one of Grindr killer Stephen Port’s victims has called for a key police watchdog to be disbanded, and described the Met as having a “lack of accountability”.

John Pape, a friend and one-time landlord of Gabriel Kovari, the second victim of Port, has hit out at the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over their investigation into police failings in the initial inquiries into the deaths as “an open goal”.
