Four Lives<\/a> has been released by the BBC, depicting the utterly harrowing story of the so-called Grindr murders committed by Stephen Port and the subsequent police investigation.<\/p>\nOver a 16-month period, the killer took the lives of Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor by administering a fatal overdose of \u201cdate rape\u201d drug GHB.<\/p>\n
The incidents were not classed as suspicious by Metropolitan Police until weeks after the fourth death, despite their similarity and occurrence in the same area near Port\u2019s place of residence.<\/p>\n
Four Lives comes from writer Neil McKay and aims to tell this story from the perspective of the victims and their families, utilising \u201cextensive research and multiple sources\u201d to ensure as accurate an account as possible.<\/p>\n
The first trailer below places Sheridan Smith front and centre as Sarah Sak, the mother of the late Walgate, who later wrote a book about the circumstances of her son\u2019s death. Watch below.<\/p>\n
