The Trial For Suspected Gay Serial Killer Stephen Port Begins Today<\/b><\/p>\n

\"StephenPort1910a\"<\/p>\n

A 41-year-old from Barking accused of murdering four men<\/a> in London after plucking them off dating sites and dosing them with fatal amounts of GHB is going to trial today.<\/p>\n

Stephen Port stands charged with four counts of murder over the span of 14 months and four counts of administering a poison, as Attitude<\/a> <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n

He’s also accused of six additional counts of administering a poison, seven counts of rape, and four counts of sexual assault against eight more men<\/a> between 2011 and 2015<\/p>\n

He’s pleaded not guilty to these charges.<\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, Port’s victims included 23-year-old Anthony Patrick Walgate, whose body was found in June 2014; 22-year-old Gabriel Kovari, whose body was dumped near a cemetery in August 2014; 21-year-old Daniel Whitworth, whose body was discovered near the same cemetery as Kovari’s a month later; and 25-year-old Jack Taylor who was found murdered in September 2015.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors claim Port met all four men<\/a> online. After getting together, he offered them large amounts of GHB. GHB — which is sometimes referred to as liquid ecstasy, lollipops, or liquid E — is a narcotic sedative that often results in loss of consciousness.<\/p>\n

At first, authorities didn’t think the murders were in related, leading many activists to sharply critique the police for failing to find a gay<\/a> link to the crimes.<\/p>\n
