Disgraced Met detective lets men rape drugged woman before her mysterious death | British news

The wife of a former Metropolitan Police detective was drugged by her husband so other men could rape her before she was found dead in a blood-soaked hotel room.

Rebekah Arter, 47, met Warren Arter in 2007 when he was the lead investigator on her domestic violence case.

They married in 2016, but he was arrested shortly afterwards when police received a tip that he was having inappropriate relationships with his victims.

He made sexual advances on at least four of his victims, it was alleged, while leading a rape investigation between 2006 and 2012.

During a misconduct tribunal last year, it was revealed that investigators had evidence that Arter used drugs and offered to supply them at swingers’ parties.

It was alleged that Rebekah was forced to have sex with men at parties, and was raped after her husband drugged her.

Her friends described their relationship as ‘toxic’ and ‘very controlling’, saying the pair were both addicted to crack cocaine.

These allegations were eventually investigated after Rebekah was found dead in a blood-soaked hotel room in Barbados in July.

Just six months after meeting Rebekah, he moved in with her and her young son Elliot in Welling, South London.

They married in Las Vegas in 2016, but after returning from their honeymoon, police were waiting to arrest him on suspicion of having sex with rape victims.

He was accused of harassing victims of sex crimes between 2006 and 2013, while leading an investigation team that won an award in 2009 for having the best detection rate in the Metropolitan Police.

Police also found a photo of him sitting on his couch with white powder and a map on his coffee table.

After being banned from police work, he then binged on cocaine and sex, forcing Rebekah to come with him ‘under his complete control’, The Sun reports.

Friends say he forced her to wear revealing clothes and high-heeled stilettos, adding that “she was not the woman she was when she met Warren.”

In 2018, he was arrested for drug supply and corrupt use of police powers after 3,000 messages relating to swinging were found on his phone.

He was fired from the police, and the couple found themselves in so much debt that Rebekah was forced to remortgage her house.

Because he escaped criminal proceedings, Arter was still able to claim his pension and the couple flew to Barbados in June.

Nine days later, Arter said he found Rebekah with blood everywhere at the luxury O2 Beach Club and Spa hotel.

She died of a massive pulmonary hemorrhage caused by a viral infection with cocaine in her system.

An inquest into her death will take place in London.

A source told The Sun that Arter sent a video to a friend of Rebekah having sex with a man while she appeared unconscious.

He then spent more than £3,000 on Rebekah’s credit card in the days after her death.

He reportedly told several stories about how he found her body, saying he woke up two hours after sunbathing to find her dead.

He also told investigators that they went to dinner and that he slept for 18 hours before finding her dead.

By the time Rebekah’s body was flown back to Britain, Arter had died in prison.

When he returned to Heathrow and was arrested on suspicion of rape in an incident unrelated to Rebekah.

He was also arrested on charges of voyeurism, sending malicious communications and blackmail.

Two weeks later he was found dead in his prison cell after committing suicide.
