British serial killer gets life sentence for murdering 4 men
LONDON — British serial killer Stephen Port was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Friday for the murders of four young gay men whom he met online.
Judge Peter Openshaw said Port should die in prison for his “dreadful offences.”
Relatives of the victims cheered and clapped as the sentence was announced in the Old Bailey courthouse.
Port was convicted by a jury on Wednesday of plying his victims with drinks spiked with lethal doses of the drug GHB, raping them when they were unconscious and dumping their bodies in and around a nearby graveyard.
