Prince’s killer drug hits UK

-

THE drug that killed pop star Prince is flooding UK streets, warn police.

A senior officer said Fentanyl, which caused the star’s death from an overdose last year, is 100 times stronger than morphine.

“We are finding it more often in Southampto­n,” said Det Supt Paul Barton, head of organised and serious crime in the city.

“It’s a cutting agent mixed with drugs such as heroin and cocaine. People aren’t used to the strength. They don’t expect it.”
