Medical couple may have contributed to 56 OD deaths

According to the indictment, 56 of the doctor's patients have died from accidental prescription drug overdoses in the past five years. However, the indictment alleges that only four of the deaths were directly caused by drugs prescribed by Schneider's clinic in Haysville, south of Wichita.

Sari heroin gang very arrogant

Snippets: Five drug smugglers have been jailed for stitching heroin into the linings of dresses and posting them from Pakistan to Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Equipped with aging sewing machines their humble workshop hid the real profits behind a mail-order fashion business with a difference.

Ijaz Ahmed, 29, a high-ranking member of the crime group, gives a running commentary as men toil on sewing machines to prepare garments for their special linings.

His associate Manir Khan, 37, can be seen gesturing to the camera and the footage eventually cuts to a package clearly bearing an Oldham postal address.

Officers discovered that Fazal Hussain, 40, known locally in Oldham as "The Godfather", had become involved in the smuggling operation.

He had begun taking a more "hands on" role in his drugs business following a series of police busts in 2005. Hussain and fellow gang member Mohammed Akseem, 39, were arrested at Knutsford Service Station on the M6, Cheshire, in March last year.

They had 2kg of heroin, with a street value of £200,000, in their possession. Mohammed Akseem, Manir Khan and Mohammed Iqbal. All members pleaded guilty to drug trafficking offences. This led officers to the house in Cambridge Street, Werneth, where Khan and fellow gang member Mohammed Iqbal, 40, were arrested.

“Stitching heroin into the lining of dresses...”

I’ve heard of computer parts, jewelry, even keys stitched into dresses, but not heroin.

Thanks Oorang.
