Liaison with Brian Epstein This link talks about Orton forming a liaison with a prominent manager of a well known music team at that time and it would have been a wonderful combination Apparently Halliwell had found out about it and beat Joe to death with a hammertwo weeks later sad to relate the new found friend of Joe Orton committed suicide  Already one thinks of the Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein  Add the fact that Epstein did kill himself on  August  just over  weeks after Ortons murder and its clear who theyre talking about  But they dont name him  Can this be corroborated anywhere
