A couple who drugged men seeking sexual services in order to steal from them have been jailed for killing two men and poisoning others.

Adina Mihai and Madalin Dumitru admitted the manslaughter of Gary Mouat, 36, from Oxfordshire, and Malcolm King, 80, from Gloucestershire, in 2025 and 2024 respectively.

The pair also each admitted two further counts of administering poison to surviving victims on the first day of their trial in June.

Mihai and Dumitru were both sentenced to 17 years in prison at Oxford Crown Court.

Mihai, who posed as a sex worker, and her partner Dumitru, arranged to meet men paying for services she had advertised online at their homes.

The court heard four had their alcoholic drinks spiked with the powerful sedative gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) so the pair could steal from them.

Two men died as a result, while two others – who cannot be named due to reporting restrictions – survived.
