Alleged serial killer Stephen Port 'filmed meeting victim' | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A jury has been shown CCTV footage of an alleged serial killer meeting a man in east London he is accused of murdering hours later. | |
Stephen Port was captured on film with Jack Taylor outside Barking station on 13 September 2015. The pair then walked together to Mr Port's flat. | |
Mr Taylor, 25, was found dead the following day near a churchyard. | |
Mr Port, 41, denies 29 charges including murder, rape, sexual assault and administering drugs. | |
The Old Bailey was read messages sent between the pair on gay dating app Grindr in which they had arranged to meet at 03:00 BST. | |
The defendant can be seen in the video walking to the station and joining Mr Taylor, who arrived by taxi. | |
Jurors were told that Mr Port "blocked" Jack Taylor's Grindr account at 07:20, before deleting his own Grindr account later that day. | |
Mr Taylor, from Dagenham, was found dead on 14 September near a churchyard in Barking, where the bodies of two other men - Gabriel Kovari and Daniel Whitworth - had been discovered in 2014. | |
Earlier, the jury heard from a 26-year-old man who said Stephen Port injected him twice with drugs while they had sex at the defendant's home last year. | |
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court the pair started having sex in a "normal" way in the bedroom when Mr Port left for the bathroom. | |
When he returned, the man said he felt "a sharp pain and very intense sting" after he was injected with a "plastic syringe" he had not seen the defendant carrying. | |
Shortly afterwards, the accused returned to the bathroom and then injected the man again, the court heard. | |
"On this occasion I jumped off the bed and told him you can't do that - I'm not comfortable," he said. | "On this occasion I jumped off the bed and told him you can't do that - I'm not comfortable," he said. |
The man told the court he "started to get dizzy" but continued having sex. | |
When Mr Port went to the bathroom for a third time, the man said he decided to leave. | |
He told the jury: "I asked him outright what he'd given me" and Mr Port replied that was a lubricant. | |
