- Abstract
The article discusses two court cases relating to culpable homicide and drug administration. The first defendant was charged with killing another by unlawfully supplying her, and injecting her with a Class A drug, resulting in her death. The details were similar in the second case, other than the victim had administered the drug injection himself. The Scottish High Court of Justiciary held that it was open to a jury to convict the supplier of a drug ingested by the victim, of culpable homicide.
