Two drug crazed friends threw a wealthy homosexual

Two drug crazed friends threw a wealthy homosexual from an
eighth floor balcony after he had stripped half naked and donned
a condom for sex, the Old Bailey heard.

Andre Millson, 30, was allegedly lured to Warren Chambers’
flat on the promise of sexual favours so he and pal Russell
McKenzie could rob the legal executive.

McKenzie, 24, hid behind a chair as Chambers encouraged Mr
Millson to strip, said prosecutor Mr Graham Boal.

Chambers then invited Mr Millson on to the balcony to ‘see
the lights of East London’ and McKenzie sprang out from his
hiding place.

The next moment the pair grabbed hold of Mr Millson’s legs
and sent him plummeting to his death, it was alleged.

The court heard Mr Millson was a ‘promiscuous’ homosexual
who trawled gay haunts in his BMW looking for casual sex.

One of his pick up areas was the Green Man roundabout near
Chambers’ flat in John Drinkwater tower, Leytonstone High Road.

Chambers had met him there several times and took his
telephone number.

One the night of August 30 the pair took mind bending LSD
tablets and went to two pubs the Chequers and the Brewery Tap in
High Street, Walthamstow.

Chambers then telephoned Mr Millson and invited him to his
flat, said counsel.

When interviewed by police Chambers allegedly said: ‘I
thought I could get some money out the geezer.

‘
At the flat they talked of sex and Chambers said he encour
aged Mr Millson ‘a little bit.

‘
‘He undressed in the sitting room, just putting the durex
on.

‘I said: Let’s go out on the the balcony and see the East
London lights.

‘
‘I got the right leg, Russell got the left and we chucked
him off.

‘
A neighbour in the flat below was lying awake in bed when
he heard an ‘eerie scream.

‘
‘Seconds later he heard a loud crash.

He got up immediate
ly went to the balcony and saw the body of a man lying on the
ground outside,’ said Mr Boal.

The neighbour’s wife called the emergency services but Mr
Millson, of Gordon Road, Woodford was beyond help.

He died of multiple injuries including fractures of the
skull.

There were also bruises on his hands, probably caused when
terrified Mr Millson grabbed the balcony in a desperate bid to
stop himself being hurled over.

‘Mr Millson was completely naked except for a green sweat
shirt and a condom,’ said counsel.

Police immediately began questioning all the occupants of
the tower block.

When they called at Chamber’s flat they noticed neither of
the men appeared to have been sleeping, although they claimed
they had.

In a rubbish chute used by the flat, detectives found the
bag Mr Millson always carrried, which contained condoms, massage
lotions and homosexual videos.

And when officers seached Chambers’ flat they found the
most damning evidence of all – a footprint, which in the eyes of
experts can be as decisive as a finger print.

It was found to be Mr Millson’s and soon other evidence
started ‘pilling up,’ said counsel.

Records of calls made on Mr Millson’s portable telephone
showed he had called Chambers’ flat several times in the days
leading up to his death.

The records also revealed that calls had been made to
Chambers’ sister, girlfriend Lisa Peter and McKenzie after Mr
Millson’s death.

And Miss Peter told the court Chambers had confessed to
having murdered Mr Millson.

He allegedly said: ‘D’you know about that murder in the
paper? I done it.

‘
Chambers also asked her: ‘If I was to go inside would you
visit me? I could get fifteen years for what I done,’ said Mr
Boal.

When the pair were intially interviewed they denied even
knowing Mr Millson.

‘But in the face of the evidence against him Chambers
realised that further prevarication was useless,’ said counsel.

‘I just blame it on drugs.

We were both on acid,’ Chambers
is said to have admitted.

Eventually McKenzie also ‘confessed in identical terms,’
said Mr Boal.

Chambers and McKenzie, of Romford Road, Chigwell both deny
murder.

The trial continues.
