Original sentence: His death also appears to be the subject of some debate - some sources (including the ITV Real Crime documentary) state that Bindon died from an AIDS related illness, while others (including Wensley Clarkson's biography [citing the now defunct UK newspaper Today]) claim he was suffering from liver cancer (it is possible, of course, that the cancer was a symptom of HIV/AIDS).However, the defence argued that Darke's death was in self defence, saying Bindon was in fear of his life as he was being blackmailed about losing drug money and cocaine worth thousands of pounds (though his defence might have been hindered amid allegations of bragging to a cellmate that he was a hitman while on remand awaiting trial).The prosecution claimed that this was a £10,000 contract killing over drugs, with the fight as a cover for the assassination.The sensationalist media during the trial, along with the Oakland incident, seriously damaged Bindon's reputation (there were other various allegations of a similar violent nature against Bindon) and he never worked in the entertainment industry again
