A 32-year-old gym owner has been jailed for 37 months for culpably and recklessly supplying a diet pill which can be lethal to humans.

Recorded deathsHe was arrested in October 2018 after a further raid on his home in Denny.
He told police he was aware that DNP was not safe for human consumption, and he was aware of the dangers of taking it, including that the lethal dose is unknown.
