Zoe Rule, 31, denies cultivating cannabis and possessing criminal property
A mum has gone on trial accused of living a luxury lifestyle funded by crime. Prosecutors claim Royal Mail worker Zoe Rule was living 'far beyond her means' and had designer items from high end brands including Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Canada Goose and Christian Louboutin.
Ms Rule, 31, is not accused of being involved with the operation at the mill, but is alleged to have helped her partner Leslie Fowler in a 'sideline' cannabis grow at their home in Collyhurst, as well as possessing criminal property. She has pleaded not guilty to both charges. Manchester Crown Court heard that almost £4,000 worth of the class B drug was discovered by police in Ms Rule's home in September 2019. Prosecuting, Andy Evans claimed that Ms Rule had assisted her partner in the growing of the drug, and said her fingerprint had been found on a plant pot.
In a later message, Ms Rule told her partner: "Leslie I'm dead stressed out, one died and one is dying." Asked what she believed the message meant, Detective Constable Helen Rutter of Greater Manchester Police told jurors: "In my opinion that is in regard to the plants that were found at the address."
