Gay killings suspect on sex charges

A CHEF accused of killing four young men is also charged with sex attacks on eight others, a court heard yesterday.

Stephen Port, 41, allegedly murdered the gay men with fatal doses of the party drug GHB.

Their bodies were found close to his home in Barking, east London.

He is charged with four counts of murder, four of administering a substance with intent to engage in sexual activity and four alternative counts of manslaughter.

There are now also seven rape charges, six more of administering a substance with intent to have sex and four of sexual assault, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.

He denies all charges. The trial is in October.
