Relatives and friends of the serial killer Stephen Port’s victims have welcomed Dame Cressida Dick’s resignation, saying they had no confidence in her leadership after her refusal to accept prejudice played a part in the inept police investigations into the four deaths.
Sarah Sak, the mother of fashion student Anthony Walgate, 23, Port’s first victim, said: “I’m really pleased. Week in, week out the Met is in the news. It’s about time somebody came in and took control.”.
