Police uncovered a dangerous operation when they raided Kyle Enos’s home in Maesteg, Wales. Body camera footage shows officers discovering 2.5 kilograms of suspicious orange powder next to a pizza box and a pill-pressing machine in Enos’s bedroom.
The 33-year-old had turned his property into a makeshift laboratory, where police also found drawers full of tablets and several vials of clear liquid. Enos had been out of prison for just a few months when he bought the toxic chemical DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol) on the dark web from suppliers in India and China.
DNP is both a regulated poison and linked to 34 deaths in the UK, according to evidence presented at Cardiff Crown Court. Judge Simon Mills described how Enos’s website falsely suggested the pills were made in a professional lab by qualified experts.
Enos pleaded guilty to eight charges, including possession and supply of DNP and supplying a regulated poison. He was also charged with five breaches of a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO), which was imposed after his 2018 conviction for selling fentanyl to 166 people.
That earlier case involved four deaths, including Cardiff University student Jack Barton, 23, and Arran Rees, 34, from Carmarthenshire. Although Enos received an eight-year sentence then, no charges were filed directly linking him to the fatalities due to lack of definitive proof he supplied the fentanyl involved.
Following the latest conviction, Enos was sentenced to three years in prison for his involvement with the poisonous diet pills.
