Port, 41, who allegedly had a fetish for sex with young unconscious males whom he drugged by spiking their drinks with the “date-rape” drug GHB, wrote the note as part of a “wicked” attempt to frame his third victim for killing his second victim, prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC claimed.
The note was found on the body of Daniel Whitworth, 21, a chef, whose propped up body was discovered by a dog walker at a churchyard near Port’s flat in Barking, east London, and who was found to have died from an overdose of GHB – or G – and a sedative drug.
It referred to the death of Gabriel Kovari, 22, whose body, “extraordinarily” said Rees, had been found by the same dog walker in the same position and location three weeks previously, and who also had suffered an overdose of GHB.
In the apparent suicide note Whitworth wrote that he had injected Kovari with GHB during sex, and had not noticed he was not breathing, and was now taking his own life in remorse. The note added: “BTW please do not blame the guy I was with last night, we only had sex and then I left, he knows nothing of what I have done.”
[...]
Rees said: “The police at that stage accepted the apparent suicide note at face value and did not investigate further. In particular, Daniel’s movements prior to his death were not checked and no attempt was made to trace the person referred to in the note as ‘the guy I was with last night’.”
