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.’

A barrister who dealt the chemsex pills that killed his teenage boyfriend told a misconduct hearing that most of the charges against him are ‘rubbish.’
Henry Hendron, 40, bought £1,000 of mephedrone and GBL from former BBC radio producer Alexander Parkin, 45, to deal ‘in bulk’.
He gave detailed instructions to his boyfriend Miguel Jimenez, 18, on how to use and package the drugs.
Hendron woke up to find Miguel lying dead next to him in bed at his exclusive flat in London’s Temple - the collection of chambers where Britain’s top lawyers and judges are based.
He dialled 999, but the teenager had suffered a lethal overdose of a combination of mephedrone, known as ‘meow meow’, and GBL in January 2015.
