Miles Cross, 33, sold a chemical substance online to vulnerable people, charging 100 per sale. He used an internet discussion forum, posted a QR code linking buyers to his bank account, and sent the substance by post. Four people paid him; two later died, including Shubhreet Singh, 26. Police searched Cross's home in January 2025 and seized chemicals, paraphernalia, and devices linking him to the forum and payments. Cross pleaded guilty in November to four counts of intentionally encouraging or assisting suicide. Cross received a 14-year prison sentence.
