‘Louella dead at time of search’

-

TRIPPING: Victim Michie THE rapper who filmed actor John Michie’s daughter’s fatal drug trip in a forest finally went for help after six hours – then lost her, a court heard.

Ceon Broughton, 29, shot videos of Louella, 24, as she fell ill after overdosing on party drug 2C-P at the Bestival festival in Dorset.

The prosecutio­n alleges by the time Broughton went for help Louella was already dead.

Security guard Wayne Harrington told Winchester Crown Court he saw Broughton “come out of a bush” on the edge of the festival site around

11.30pm – six hours after the rapper had shot a

51-minute video of tripping Louella which judge Mr Justice Goose told the jury was “difficult to watch”.

Mr Harrington said Broughton “asked to borrow a torch so he could go and look for his girlfriend who apparently had taken an overdose”.

The guard claimed he went to help Broughton but after 15 minutes the pair could not find Louella.

Broughton, from Enfield, north London, denies manslaught­er and supplying a Class A drug.

The trial continues.
