Online dealer of toxic ‘slimming pills’ loses appeal over woman’s death
An online dealer from Hampshire who sold toxic tablets marketed as “slimming pills” which fatally poisoned a vulnerable young woman has lost a challenge against his conviction for her manslaughter.
Bernard Rebelo, 33, from Gosport , was found guilty at the Old Bailey in March last year of the manslaughter of Eloise Parry, 21, who died after taking eight pills containing the poisonous substance dinitrophenol (DNP).
Rebelo challenged his conviction at a Court of Appeal hearing in November last year, with his lawyers arguing the trial judge Mrs Justice Whipple misdirected the jury in relation to whether his actions caused Ms Parry’s death.
