Mr Rees told jurors: “The evidence will show that the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the four young men who died were strikingly similar in a number of respects.” The second alleged murder victim was Slovakian Gabriel Kovari, who was visiting London when he died in August 2014, aged 22.ĭaniel Whitworth, a 21-year-old chef, from Gravesend, died in September 2014, while forklift truck driver Jack Taylor, 25, died in September 2015. Mr Port, the court heard, was later convicted of perverting the course of justice after making a false statement to Police investigating how Mr Walgate died. The court heard that the first man to die was fashion student Anthony Walgate, 23, who was found dead in June 2014. He denies all the allegations against him. It is alleged he secretly drugged 11 out of his 12 victims to render them unconscious. Mr Port is accused of 29 charges including four murders, seven rapes, four indecent assaults and administering a substance with intent. Mr Port also filmed himself having sex with men while they were unconscious, Mr Rees said. His appetites were reflected in the type of “drug-rape” pornography he watched, jurors were told. “This is a case about a man who in the pursuit of nothing more than his own sexual gratification, variously drugged, sexually assaulted and in four cases killed young gay men he had invited back to his flat.”
