Police looking for links between three nearby deaths in Teesside

I was so intrigued by this offence that I actually looked it up after watching it on the news yesterday.

From the CPS:

If A injects B with a drug belonging to B, A is not supplying a drug in contravention of s.4(1) (R v Harris [1968] 1 WLR 769).

However, the following offences under the Offences against The Person Act 1861 may be considered:

  • Section 23: Unlawfully and maliciously administering, or causing to be administered to or taken any poison or other destructive or noxious thing so as to endanger life, thereby inflicting grievous bodily harm. The maximum sentence is 10 years' imprisonment and the offence is indictable only.
 
Its not uncommon for addicts to inject each other.
Also if someone was present for several overdoses, questions to be answered
