University of Mississippi students' deaths lead to federal charges

kratom derivatives University of Mississippi drug overdose federal charges synthetic kratom

Federal prosecutors have charged a father and son, Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and Islam Yahya Mosleh, with possession with intent to distribute controlled substances following the deaths of two University of Mississippi students. The victims, Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang, were found dead on September 21, with their deaths appearing consistent with drug overdoses.

Investigators recovered packages of suspected kratom derivatives at both scenes. Court documents reveal the substances found were not natural kratom, but rather potent, semisynthetic derivatives including mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and 7-OH. Two of these compounds were recently classified as Schedule I controlled substances by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Authorities established a link between the substances found and a local Mississippi smoke shop where the Moslehs worked. Law enforcement used bank records to trace purchases of the derivatives to the store. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves stated that state agencies are working to expedite toxicology reports to determine if these specific substances contributed to the deaths.
