-Gabriel Kovari, 22, was found dead in the grounds

of Barking Abbey in August last year.

The inquest heard that the cause of his death

was a drug overdose.

The body of Daniel Whitworth, 21,

was found the following month in the same place.

-That's the same wall where Jack was found, isn't it?

-Yeah, just the other side of it.

"The Coroner, Nadia Persaud,

said that she was not wholly satisfied

with the evidence provided by the police.

Therefore she recorded an Open Verdict."

-So if a Coroner's not happy with it,

why the hell should we be?

-Look there's another one.

Anthony Walgate, from Hull.

I mean, not found in the graveyard,

but Barking's not that big a place, is it?

-This is bloody odd.

-I know.

All we're saying is that we think

these deaths could be connected.

-I can promise you, that would have been looked at.

-There are no connections, apart from the link

between Gabriel Kovari,

Daniel Whitworth, and a suicide note.

-Yeah, but even the Coroner said

she wasn't certain that was suicide.

-Suppose the note was a fake?

-I think you're getting a bit carried away.

-We're not trying to be difficult.

This is our brother.

what happened to Jack between arriving

at Barking station and then being found dead.

That's a whole 24 hours

you're saying he's just lying there in the mud,

doing these drugs or whatever.

-Can we not see this CCTV?

-You can confirm that's Jack?

-Yeah.

-It's not that clear.

-Yeah, that's him. Definitely.

-And that's the guy he met?

met just by chance, does it?

I mean, it looks like he was waiting for Jack

when he got there.

And even if he wasn't, I mean,

they couldn't have walked all that way down

without saying anything to one another.

-But we have to stress,

they only walk together for part of the route.

The tall guy disappears, presumably down a side street.

-This guy's probably the last person to see

Jack alive.

He might have information.

I think you need to find him.

-No. It could be anybody.

The odds on he'd have no useful information even if we could.

-See, this is further along the street,

Jack's definitely alone now.

-He seems stockier.

-You sure that's Jack?

-Who else is it? -I dunno.

But that picture's crap. So don't you wanna be sure?

-That's all three of them,

found in near enough the same spot in the graveyard.

All around the same age, all drugs overdoses

and all their phones missing.

-And did you go with them?

-No. I stayed at the party.

Erm, and when I got home, Gabriel was gone,

and he'd taken all of his stuff.

-And was that the last you saw of him?

-Yes.

Yes, it was.

-When exactly did you meet Daniel Whitworth?

-Can't be sure of the exact date.

-Was it before or after you met Gabriel Kovari?

-Err, around the same time I think.

-Did you have sex with Daniel? -Yes, I did.

-And you claim that relationship was consensual?

-Definitely, yes.

-Where do you say it took place?

-At my flat.

That was where he told me that he'd given too much

GHB to Gabriel and he'd died.

Felt bad about it, and he was thinking of killing himself.

He asked me to help him write a suicide note.

-What was your reaction?

-I didn't want to do anything wrong.

-But you say he persuaded you?

-Yes. -How?

-He said: If you do this for me,

I'll let you fuck me.

-So, you say you wrote it for him?

-Yes. -Did he dictate it to you?

-Yes. -Even the sentence which read:

"Please do not blame the guy

I was with last night, we only had sex.

Then I left, he knows nothing of what I've done."

-No, I added that bit.

[ People murmuring ]

-What happened then?

-We had sex, and when I woke up he was gone.

Never saw him again.

-You told the court earlier that you've never

given drugs to another man?

Is that true?

-Yes, definitely.

-And yet syringe marks were found on Jack Taylor's body.

Can you account for them?

-Ah, I thought we were talking about GHB.

That would be Tina? -Tina?

-Crystal meth.

I happened to have some at my flat.

So I suggested we take some.

He said fine.

I injected myself and he injected himself.

-He injected himself? -Yes.

-Had he ever done that before?

-I don't think so.

-Well, it wouldn't be an easy thing to do,

the first time, would it?

Isn't he likely to have needed assistance?

And what happened then?

-The drugs kicked in.

We took off our clothes and had sex.

Went on till midday.

-On the Sunday?

-On the Sunday.

Then I suggested,

"Before you go, why don't we try some GHB?"

-He said, "Oh right, yeah I've heard of that,

let's give it a go."

So we did.

Then he said he fancied some "outdoor fun."

So I took him to the abbey.

-And you say you had sex there?

-Yes.

-Eventually he said he felt tired and wanted to sit down.

So I left him. Went back to the flat.

That was the last time I saw him.

-None of this is true, is it?

There was no sex party.

Daniel Whitworth never met Gabriel Kovari.

-It is true. -When the police first asked you

if you knew Jack Taylor, you denied it, didn't you?

-Only because I didn't want to get blamed

for something I hadn't done.

-The story about Jack Taylor remaining at your flat

throughout the Sunday and you having sex again

that night is nonsense, isn't it?

-No, it's not.

-The post mortem showed Jack died on the Sunday morning,

just a few hours after you met him at Barking station,

so how could you have had sex with him on the Sunday evening?

The truth is, that after first meeting him,

you took him back to your flat,

and either there, or later in the grounds of the Abbey

you injected him with crystal meth,

gave him GHB without his consent,

had sex with him and left him for dead.

-That's not the case. -When the police examined

your laptop, they found countless Internet searches

such as "unconscious boy", "drugged and raped", and err,

"gay teen knocked out and raped".

Why was that?

-That was just general curiosity.

-I put it to you that you have lied throughout

to save your own skin.

The truth is: you like playing God

and manipulating and controlling young men

and penetrating them while they are unconscious.

-I admit I told lies at first, but only because

I was worried the truth made me look guilty.

-I know it's very late in the day,

but would you care to change any part of your account now?

-No, I wouldn't.

-Don't you agree it would be a good thing

for the families of the four dead men

to find out the truth about what happened?

I'm telling the truth now.

That Port being convicted is only half the story,

the other half is the police.

This case has been a disaster.

I don't know why, cos I only know my part of the story.

But whether it's down to laziness or homophobia

or lousy management, cutbacks,

maybe a combination of all of those, we'll have to see.

But lads have been robbed of their lives,

and families left devastated.

And if this is what policing's like in this country,

then it's broken.

It's totally fucked, and somebody needs to sort it out.
