A restaurant owner has been found guilty of killing a customer who died from an allergic reaction to a curry.
Paul Wilson, 38, suffered a severe anaphylactic shock in January 2014 after eating a takeaway containing nuts from the Indian Garden in Easingwold, North Yorkshire.
A jury found Mohammed Zaman, 52, of Huntington, guilty of manslaughter after a trial at Teesside Crown Court.
The court heard he cut corners by using cheaper ingredients containing peanuts.
Zaman denied he was responsible but a jury was told he switched almond powder for a cheaper groundnut mix, which contained peanuts.

I don't have a lot of sympathy given that he apparently ignored several warnings about the risk to customers.
As the parent of a child with a nut allergy who's had a serious reaction, this sort of thing make me shudder and I can't imagine why anyone with such an allergy would take a chance by ordering food from anywhere where nuts are routinely used. One mistake by staff and it could be curtains...
