The Sky News segment reports that Adina Mihai and Madalin Dumitru were each sentenced to 17 years in prison for fatally drugging two men and poisoning two others. The pair targeted men arranging sexual services online between August 2024 and July 2025, spiked their drinks with GBL (a date-rape drug), and stole valuables such as jewelry and watches to fund their lifestyle. Victims included 80-year-old Malcolm King and 37-year-old Gary Mouat (also referred to as Jerry Moat in the transcript), who both died; two other unnamed men survived similar attacks. The report includes CCTV and TikTok footage of the pair en route to a victim's home, police bodycam of arrests, and comments from Detective Inspector Michael Roddy on their recklessness with the drug's dosage, senior prosecutor Charles White on their calculation that victims would not report due to embarrassment, and emotional impact statements from Mouat's wife and King's daughter.
