CCTV shows final images of murdered Stacey Lawrence
Police also confirmed they were looking at claims that he previously tried to have sex with the underage daughter of a family friend.
Detective Chief Inspector Tricia Kirk said: “The woman who stated that Darren Walker made a sexual approach towards her when she was aged 15. There is no evidence to suggest that Stacey was subjected to a serious sexual assault before she died but I believe some sexual touching did take place.”
Stacey and Walker, who left wholesale distribution firm AF Blakemore & Son’s depot in Willenhall, West Midlands, at around 4am on Friday, had been on several trips together before.
The pair ate a meal of macaroni cheese together that evening and Stacey’s mother spoke to Walker some time between 7.30pm and 8pm. Stacey was strangled using a ligature of black fabric. The same sort of fabric was also used by Walker to hang himself.
