A male convicted for distributing diet pills online that turned out to be poisonous has been sentenced to three years in prison. Kyle Enos, aged 33, had recently been released from prison after selling fentanyl online when he purchased 2, 4 Dinotrophenol, or DNP, from suppliers in India and China through the dark web. Enos then manufactured the substance into pills at his residence in Maesteg, Bridgend. The Cardiff Crown Court disclosed that DNP is a regulated substance classified as a poison and secondary explosive, causing at least 34 fatalities in the UK.
During the sentencing, Judge Simon Mills expressed that Enos’ website misleadingly presented the pills as if they were produced in a professional setting by individuals with appropriate qualifications and expertise. Authorities discovered 2.5kg of orange powder and a pill-making machine at Enos’ residence on Station Road in Maesteg during a raid. Enos pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including possession of DNP, distribution of the drug, and supplying a regulated poison. In addition, he confessed to five violations of a Serious Crime Prevention Order imposed following his previous fentanyl convictions.
Under the terms of his SCPO, Enos was prohibited from selling products online or engaging in dark web activities. Notably, he conceded to several breaches of his SCPO, such as using a laptop to access the dark web, establishing a Proton email account with encryption, and creating a website for DNP sales. The infamous drug, DNP, was linked to the passing of Eloise Parry, 21, who tragically lost her life after consuming eight capsules in Wrexham in 2015. Investigators also found a pill press machine and pills in Enos’ bedroom, alongside unsanitary conditions captured in bodycam footage shown in court.
Judge Mills emphasized that Enos was distributing harmful substances to the public from his residence, characterized by unhygienic conditions. Enos received a 36-month prison term for his offenses, with the judge cautioning him about the dangers of his actions. Furthermore, the court hinted at potential further investigations in the event that Enos’ products were linked to any fatalities, mentioning the possibility of a manslaughter inquiry. A forthcoming Proceeds of Crime Act hearing is scheduled later this year to address financial dealings associated with his criminal activities
