Man quizzed on drugs as well as woman’s death

A man arrested on suspicion of murdering the daughter of Holby City actor John Michie is also being questioned on suspicion of supplying a Class A drug.

The body of Louella Eve Fletcher-Michie, 25, was discovered in a wooded area on the edge of the festival site at Lulworth Castle, Dorset, on Monday.

Officers were alerted to concerns for the welfare of Ms Michie, who was attending the event, just before 1am and her body was located following a search.

A 28-year-old man from London, who was known to Ms Michie, was arrested on suspicion of murder. He was later also arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled Class A drug.

Dorset Police said a postmortem examination was inconclusive and showed no clear signs of assault. Further tests, including a toxicology, will now be carried out.

These tests will establish whether there were any substances in Ms Michie’s system, or any other suspicious circumstances.

Former Coronation Street actor Mr Michie, 66, said the family had lost their “angel” and described the death as “a tragic mistake, a tragic accident”.

“She touched so many lives. She was so very positive, so bright, so out there. She had such energy.

“The tributes to her have been incredible.”
