Always True Crime

Stephen Port was a serial killer who murdered four men in Barking, East London, between 2014 and 2015.

In this episode, I examine the failings in the police investigation into Stephen Port and ask whether the Metropolitan Police repeated some of the same mistakes in their handling of Ed Cornes' death. It's a thought-provoking episode that raises important questions about policing, accountability, and whether the lessons from the Port investigation were truly learned.

Welcome to part three of this special four-part series of the UK True Crime Podcast, where I explore the life and death of 19-year-old Ed Cornes. Ed had only just begun the next exciting chapter of his life when, in October 2021, he arrived at University College London with ambitions of becoming a barrister. But less than 48 hours later, those ambitions were cut tragically short when paramedics were called to a hotel in King's Cross, just half a mile from his university accommodation, where they found Ed dead.

At the time of his death, Ed was in the company of two men in their fifties - strangers he had met only a few hours earlier.

If you have any information at all that can help us find out any more about what happened to Ed, please contact in the strictest confidence:

2, The Met Police: opthrupp@met.police.uk
3, Me: Adam@uktruecrime.com

Next Sunday, we conclude this initial series exploring the life and death of Ed Cornes by asking: where are we now? I hope you'll join me.

It was a daunting sounding task that had never before been attempted - the fingerprinting of every male in one of the largest towns in the UK. But back in May 1948, the murder of three year old June Anne Devaney had sickened even the most hardened detectives so much, that there wasn't an officer involved who wasn't prepared to give this his all.

This time around, on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you the story of the Blackburn Fingerprint Hunt...

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
