British man used fentanyl to poison couple after gaining trust, monitored deaths via app

Luke D’Wit, a British IT worker, got life in prison for poisoning an older couple with fentanyl. He monitored them using a mobile app as they died.

During the six-week trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, jurors also heard that D'Wit had created a fake will on his phone to make him a director of their shower mat company, a day after he killed them. He even monitored them remotely as they died from his deadly concoction.

The court had also heard that D'Wit had used a series of personas from 2021 to manipulate the couple. Among others, he pretended to be a doctor from Florida and a member of a fake support group for the thyroid condition Hashimoto’s, which Carol Baxter suffered from.
