Scots killer jailed over slaying of drug dealer caught with heroin stash in cop raid
20.07.2022 - 06:45 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A killer once jailed over the slaying of a drug dealer has been caught with a stash of heroin after a raid by cops.
James Henry was snared with the haul after being freed from prison early during an 11-year sentence for culpable homicide.
Police recovered around £1000 of heroin from Henry’s Edinburgh home while executing a search warrant.

Defence agent Stephen Mannifield said drug addict Henry was returned to prison in January last year and served a further seven months.
Sheriff Frank Crowe admonished Henry over the offence, telling the accused it was a “serious matter” but he was giving him the “opportunity to move on”.
Henry was sentenced to 11 years and three months in March 2011 after being found guilty of culpable homicide at the High Court in Perth.
His co-accused Ross Hendry, then 37, was given a minimum 18 years for murdering Dennis, 27. He was given a further two years for trying to dispose of evidence.
The pair, along with two female friends, hatched a plot to rob Dennis of drugs and money after hearing how the frail eight-stone heroin dealer had been robbed twice previously.
