Stephen Port was jailed in November 2016 after luring four young, gay men through dating apps so he could drug them to death and rape them. 'Easy Kills' tracks Port's life and crimes and questions the role of Barking and Dagenham Police. Officers neglected to check Port's electronic devices when the first overdosed body turned up outside his flat in June 2014. They found Port had called 999 trying to pose as a bystanded after hiring the young man as an escort. He was nto charged with murder, but perverting the course of justice. In August 2014, a second body turned up 400 yards from Port's front door. The young immigrant's corpse showed signs of being dragged. No investigation was opened. 1 month later a third body was found in the same churchyard. Port then served 3 months of an 8-month prison sentence. After his release, a fourth body was found.
