Two drug fatalities in Joensuu
Three individuals used the “Crystal love” drug in Joensuu on Friday night.
Two of the users, a man and a woman, were found dead the next day.
Both had taken the drug intravenously.
Several people had been spending Friday evening together in an apartment in Joensuu city centre.
Three of them had taken alcohol, pharmaceuticals and a drug called Crystal love.
It is likely that only a small amount of the drug caused death, according to Detective Inspector Markku Airaksinen.
On Saturday, the police were alerted to the death of a man under 40.
The man had died in the apartment of the party.
A woman around 20 years old was found dead a few hours later in another apartment.
Crystal love is a synthetic drug.
According to the police, the dangerous drug has been sold in the Joensuu region for some time.
Detective Inspector Airaksinen notes that the drug may have come to the North Karelian town from nearby Russia.
The police say that deaths from drugs are rare in the area.
Any idea what (rc) this mystical "crystal love" could be?
