Gosport pair on trial accused of manslaughter over slimming pill student's '˜most distressing' death
Two people from Gosport have gone on trial accused of the manslaughter of a student who suffered the '˜most distressing' death after becoming '˜psychologically addicted' to a toxic slimming aid she bought online, a court heard.
The night before her death, Eloise Parry, 21, had taken eight of the diet pills containing the poisonous Dinitrophenol (DNP).
Prosecutor Richard Barraclough QC told Inner London Crown Court that taking the chemical has been described as ‘playing Russian roulette’, as ‘you might survive, you might not’.
