Stephen Port has been found guilty of the murders of Jack Taylor, Daniel Whitworth, Gabriel Kovari and Anthony Walgate.

The 41-year-old chef stalked his victims on gay dating apps including Grindr and plied them with fatal amounts of date-rape drugs so he could attack them.

The jury convicted Port of a total of 22 offences against 11 men, including the four murders, four rapes, 10 counts of administering a substance, and four sex assaults. He was cleared on three counts of rape.

Police are re-examining 58 unexplained deaths in London involving the drug GHB over a four-year period following the conviction of Stephen Port.

Commander Stuart Cundy of the Met's Specialist Crime and Operations Command said the cases were being scrutinised to ensure that foul play has not been missed in other cases.

He said that work was being done to improve officers' understanding of so-called "chemsex" - when gay men take drugs before having sex - and to make sure officers could spot when a death might be suspicious.

Investigators have also appealed for any other men who may have been sexually assaulted or raped by Port to come forward.
