Hello Resident, Following a tireless investigation by our Major Crime Unit and Gloucestershire Constabulary, a man and a woman, who fatally drugged two men and poisoned two others to steal from them, have today each been jailed for 17 years.
Adina Miha and Madalin Dumitru deliberately exploited men for financial gain, showing a complete disregard for the devastating consequences of their actions. Their offending was calculated, predatory and ultimately cost two innocent men their lives.
Gary Mouat and Malcolm King were much-loved family members whose deaths have left lasting pain for those who knew them.
They were treated as opportunities for financial gain by Mihai and Dumitru, who were motivated solely by greed.
Our thoughts remain with Gary and Malcom's families, who have shown immense dignity and resilience throughout this investigation.
This case presented significant challenges and required officers and staff from both police forces to work tirelessly to uncover the full extent of the offending and our investigation revealed a dangerous pattern of behaviour that may otherwise have remained hidden.
The Crown Prosecution Service was also invaluable in stopping these offenders from causing further harm to the public.
Today's sentence reflects the seriousness of these crimes, and we hope it provides a measure of justice to the victims, their families and all those affected by the actions of Mihai and Dumitru.
We are keeping an open mind to further offending and urge those who think they may have come into contact with the pair or may be a victim, to please come forward.
We hope the way we dealt with this investigation will demonstrate how seriously we take such investigations and how sensitively we will treat any reports of offences. You can read more on our website. Kind regards, |
