A debt ridden owner of an Indian restaurant killed a customer by serving him a meal that he knew contained potentially lethal peanut powder, a court heard.

Mohammed Zaman, 53, who was employing illegal workers in his takeaway, substituted almond powder with cheaper ground nut mix, which contained peanuts, as a way of cutting costs, a jury heard.

However he allegedly failed to warn customers and pub manager Paul Wilson, 38, who suffered a severe peanut allergy, died at his home after eating a curry made with the cheaper ingredient.
The waiter who took his order and the chef who prepared the meal were both in breach of immigration laws and working illegally.
