A judge told a spice dealer he was profiting from "suffering" before adding more jail time to the sentence he was already serving.

MoldCrown Court heard that Richard Musonza, 23, was found with 34 wraps of the drug in Wrexham in September of last year. North Wales Police officers watched as he supplied a homeless person.

In April this year, Musonza, of Stirchley in Telford, was jailed for four years and three months for supplying crack cocaine and heroin, possessing a firearm and handling stolen goods.

The court heard that Musonza, who admitted supplying the class B drug, was seen handing out packages in Wrexham High Street, and was seen on CCTV dealing substances.

Officers saw him hand out two objects to a known homeless person in exchange for cash. When arrested, he was found with 34 wraps of spice and £111.

Jailing Musonza, Judge Niclas Parry said: "You came from outside to the area in question for the purpose of supplying people you knew were hopeless, desperate and homeless, whose only comfort in life was to be spaced out on spice. You were profiting while they were suffering."

He said he had to consider what sentence he would have received if everything had been dealt with together and took the view the total sentence would have been one of five years. He jailed him for nine months to be served consecutively to his current sentence.
