Daniel Whitworth Partner Ricky Waumsley: Age And Bio
Ricky Waumsley looks to be in his late 20s.
He was in his early 20s in 2014 when his partner, Daniel Whitworth, was murdered.
Daniel and Ricky first met in Margate when Daniel went there for a holiday where Ricky was currently staying. Over a year later, they moved in together in 2011. Waumsley worked for a pharmaceutical company in 2014.
During the case of his boyfriend’s death, he claims he was “pushed out” by police because the pair were an unmarried gay couple. Moreover, he wasn’t allowed to see the suicide note left by his partner until a year had gone by.
Ricky Waumsley: Stephen Port Victim Case
Daniel Whitworth was living with his boyfriend Ricky Waumsley in Kent when tragedy befell the happy home of two.
On September 18, 2014, Daniel never returned home. He had been working as a chef in Canary Wharf in London.
He was later found dead in a churchyard in Barking only a few distances away from where Gabriel Kovari had been found dead some weeks before.
Detectives said that Daniel Whitworth committed suicide after leaving a note. He felt guilty after causing the death of Gabriel Kovari.
The note was fake produced by Stephen Port who wanted to cover his tracks. The father of Daniel told jurors he never confirmed the suicide note found was written by his son.
Whitworth and Waumsley kept in touch every day via text when they were apart. Their messages would have served as key evidence to where Daniel was at the time when Gabriel’s body had been found.
Proper checks weren’t done by the police department. If it had been done, it would have been clear that Daniel was nowhere near Barking when Gabriel’s body was found.
In 2015, it was discovered that officers had not DNA-tested the bedsheet or the drug bottles.
