Shocking Case: Man Sentenced for Selling Deadly Chemical Online
This morning in Mold Crown Court, 33-year-old Miles Cross from Wrexham faced sentencing after admitting to selling a life-ending chemical online. This substance tragically led to the deaths of two individuals.
Cross pleaded guilty to four charges of actions capable of encouraging or assisting suicide. He set up his secretive business on an internet forum, where users could easily order the chemical through a QR code. It was a transaction of just £100 but carried devastating consequences for those involved.
The investigation uncovered that Cross sold the compound to four people. One of the victims was a 26-year-old woman who sadly took her life in West Yorkshire in August 2024. Names of others involved remain undisclosed due to legal restrictions.
North Wales Police delved into this dark corner of the internet after reports of suspicious packages. The case highlights the urgent need for tighter online regulations and the dangerous accessibility of such harmful substances.
Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing story and the outcome for Cross as justice unfolds.
