Wrexham Man Pleads Guilty to Assisting Suicides Through Online Chemical Sales

Sentencing in January follows evidence tying him to four £100 mail-order sales via a forum QR code.

Overview

  • Miles Cross, 33, admitted four offences of encouraging or assisting suicide at Mold Crown Court on November 18.
  • Prosecutors said he used a pseudonym on an online forum from July 2024, posting a QR code to take orders and payments to his bank account.
  • The admitted offences relate to sales on August 9, August 22, August 26 and September 13, 2024, with each package priced at £100 and sent by post.
  • Police and CPS said two recipients later died, including 26-year-old Shubhreet Singh, while a court order now prevents identifying three other people named in the charges due to significant sensitivities.
  • A January 2025 search found the chemical and related paraphernalia, and analysis of seized devices and bank records linked Cross to the operation; a pre-sentence report has been ordered before the January 7, 2026 hearing.
