A barrister who dealt in the chemsex pills that killed his teenage boyfriend went on a drugs binge after he was suspended from the profession, a tribunal has heard.
Henry Hendron, 40, is facing 18 charges of professional misconduct brought by the Bar Standards Board in relation to behaviour which followed a previous suspension.
In 2015, Hendron bought £1,000 of mephedrone and GBL, a drug similar to GHB, from BBC producer Alexander Parkin, 42, to deal ‘in bulk’ on to the gay party scene.
He gave detailed instructions to his Colombian boyfriend Miguel Jimenez, 18, on how to use and package the drugs to which Miguel replied: ‘Blimey, and I’m the Colombian.’
