Here’s the latest on a court case that’s got everyone talking. Miles Cross, 33, has made his first appearance at Wrexham Magistrates’ Court, facing some serious charges. He’s accused of helping a woman in West Yorkshire take her own life by supplying chemicals. Tragically, the woman, Shuhbreet Singh, is no longer with us. But that’s not all. Miles is also charged with trying to assist in the suicides of three other individuals. Due to legal restrictions, their identities remain a mystery.
Miles, who turned up in court wearing a smart black suit with a tie and white shirt, only spoke to confirm his name, date of birth, and address. The courtroom drama didn’t last long—just five minutes—but it was intense as the prosecutor, Alison Storey, requested the case be bumped up to Crown Court.
District Judge Gwyn Jones, who tuned in via video link, agreed. Next stop for Miles? Mold Crown Court on November 14 for the big plea and trial prep hearing. Meanwhile, he’s out on conditional bail with strict rules: no chemicals that could harm, no sneaking into suicide forums, and no unregistered devices.
This whole situation kicks off from an investigation by North Wales Police into online chemical sales. It’s a case that’s bound to stir up some strong reactions.
