TWO HELD IN KILLER DRUG CASE

TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of murder over one of a
spate of mystery heroin deaths.

Sixteen addicts have died recently in Glasgow, and the number of cases
in England and Ireland are rising.

The breakthrough has been made in the Midlands, where two men have
been arrested on suspicion of murdering Derek Anderson, 46, from
Wolverhampton.

Strathclyde Police and Glasgow Health Board are to study details of
the case today.

A police insider revealed: "The deaths in Wolverhampton are identical
to the deaths in Glasgow, where the symptoms were swelling around the
site of injection followed by abscesses.

"The patient then goes into toxic shock and dies.

"This is an excellent result by Wolverhampton police, now we can
perhaps get to the bottom of what is killing the addicts and put a
stop to it."

Superintendent John Colston is heading the Wolverhampton
inquiry.

He said: "There is a strong suggestion Mr Anderson's death and two
others in the town may be related to the deaths in Glasgow."
