Alleged gay serial killer goes on trial in London



LONDON: -- The trial has begun in London of a 40-year-old man accused of poisoning and killing four young men in their 20s before dumping their bodies in and around a churchyard in the east of the capital.

He allegedly met the men on gay chatsites before luring them back to his house, when he gave them the date rape drug GBH and had sex with them while unconscious.

Stephen Port allegedly killed the men over a 14-month period, attempting to conceal two of the deaths by forging a suicide note found on one of the victims. His parents have expressed their total shock and are convinced of his innocence.

The Metropolitan police has come in for criticism for its slowness to act and link all four deaths to a serial killer. The case has been referred to the independent police watchdog.

The case also highlights the ever-present risks for people using the internet for sexual encounters.

The Metropolitan police has come in for criticism for its slowness to act and link all four deaths to a serial killer.

Given the number of other cases they've simply ignored or couldn't be bothered with or were bribed to overlook for decades, most notably the celebrity kiddie-fiddlers, one can only wonder what they do to keep themselves occupied while on "duty." Possibly they spend their days depositing bribes they've received in the last 24 hours.

Scotland Yard is facing the biggest corruption scandal to hit the Metropolitan Police force since the 1970s. Officers are alleged to have accepting bribes from security firms working for strip clubs and bars across London’s West End.

Anti-corruption police are also investigating three security bosses at two separate companies, one of which frames itself as an official partner of Scotland Yard in delivering the government’s counter-terror strategies.

You didn't cite your quote.

Thread title rather misleading... he has been arrested, charged and appeared in the Magistrates court yesterday, the first step in a long winded process that may lead to a trail, but that is a few months away yet if not more like a year or so.

The trail certainly has not started, the magistrates just remanded him in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.
