[2001] EWCA Crim 2712

Even though a manslaughter had occurred by the supply of heroin without knowledge that the dose was fatal, the appellant's drug addiction meant that he would continue to present a significant risk of re-offending and could not escape the mandatory life sentence in s.109 Powers of Criminal Courts Act 2000.
