A man has been sentenced after he spiked a child’s cake with cannabis.
Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court heard how Lee Kelly, 38, dropped the drug into cake mixture when the child left the room with his grandmother.
The seven-year-old boy’s parents became ill when they ate the cake the next day and the child felt the effects of the drug whilst in school and complained to teachers of dizziness and having a dry mouth.
The court was told that Kelly suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was told to put the drug into the mixture by voices in his head.
He was sentenced to a six month jail term, suspended for a year, and ordered to complete 20 days of rehabilitation requirement activities.
