Alleged serial killer Stephen Port brutally murdered four young men to “selfishly" pursue his insatiable sexual fetish, a court heard.
Mr Port, 41, is accused of slipping his victims copious amounts of date rape drug GHB, before raping them and dumping their bodies near his flat in Barking, east London.
He is on trial for murder at the Old Bailey and also faces further sexual assault charges including administering a substance and rape in relation to eight more men he met through gay dating websites.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told jurors: "The prosecution case is not hard to understand because we say this defendant was driven by his seemingly insatiable appetite for sex with Twinks while they were unconscious.
"If, as we suggest, the defendant was motivated to penetrate unconscious young men, he needed to find a way of raping them against their will. The obvious solution was drugs."
Mr Rees said the evidence showed all four alleged murder victims died shortly after being with Port in his flat and eight more young men complained he had - or had tried to - take advantage of them sexually.
The prosecutor queried if it could be a "dreadful series of coincidences" resulting in the defendant being wrongly accused, as Port claims.
Port denies all 29 charges against him.
