BREAKING Wrexham man who offered deadly £100 chemical on-line linked to 2 deaths learns his destiny
A Wrexham man who sold a lethal chemical online, resulting in two suicides, has been jailed for 10 years today at Mold Crown Court. Miles Cross, 33, confessed to aiding or abetting suicide after selling the deadly compound to four individuals for £100 each.
In November, Cross admitted guilt to four counts of intentionally carrying out an act capable of encouraging or assisting another’s suicide by supplying a chemical compound.
North Wales Police revealed that they were probing two deaths linked to four packages containing a substance sold online, following an investigation into a business peddling a suicide-aiding substance via an online forum, according to North Wales Live.

Cross was charged with supplying chemicals to a 26-year-old woman on August 22, 2024, who later tragically died in West Yorkshire.
Due to reporting restrictions, the identities of those involved in the three other offences, which took place in August and September 2024, remain undisclosed.
The Press Association reported that Cross established his grim trade through an internet discussion forum, operating under a pseudonym. After joining the site in July 2024, he posted a QR code enabling direct orders for the substance, with payments made directly into his bank account.
