Emma Davies, 41, is said to have suffered 'horrific' open sores after using the substance which is ten times stronger than heroin. The drug - chemical name desomorphine - has been branded 'the world's deadliest drug' after it first appeared in Russia. Davies was unable to attend Cheltenham Magistrates Court last August because she had taken krokodil and was being treated in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Woodwart stole the majority of the items and continued even after Davies told her to 'slow down', the barrister added. 'This was the first occasion she felt remorse for her actions as she was due to start a drug rehab programme the next day.'
