A 33-year-old Wrexham man has been charged in connection with two suspected suicides in the UK, police have said.
In a statement this morning NWP said, “Miles Cross, of Wrexham city, was arrested in Wrexham in January 2025 in connection with the sale of a substance online to assist with suicide.
“Cross was charged on Friday, 12 September, with four counts of intentionally doing an act capable of encouraging or assisting the suicide of another, contrary to Section 2(1) of the Suicide Act 1961.
“Two deaths are being investigated in connection with four packages containing a substance sold online.
“Cross will appear before Wrexham Magistrates Court on Thursday, 16 October.”
Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s Special Crime Division, said: “We have decided to prosecute Miles Cross with four offences of encouraging or assisting suicide following a police investigation into a business selling a substance via an online forum.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
“We have worked closely with North Wales Police as they carried out their investigation.”
The CPS remind you the reader, “We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
