Duo charged after mum’s tragic death
Two men will appear in court next month after the death of tragic Motherwell mum Rebecca Tollan.
The 23- year- old, who passed away just weeks after giving birth, died after becoming unwell at a house in Bellshill at around 1.15am on Monday, July 15.
Police Scotland have confirmed that a 31-yearold and 36- year- old had been arrested and charged in connection with alleged drug offences, with detectives still investigating the results of a post-mortem and toxicology report to confirm the cause of her death.
The men were released on an undertaking and are due back at Hamilton Sheriff Court next month.
A Po l i c e S c o t l a n d spokeswoman said: “Two men aged 31 and 36 have been arrested and charged with alleged drugs offences.
“They have been released on an undertaking to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court at a later date and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Wishaw man Graeme Robertson, her former partner and father to their son Carter, posted a heartbreaking tribute to Rebecca following her death.
He said: “To Rebecca...just starting this off is the most heartbreaking experience I have had to come up against, no words have any detail how destroyed we all are, nobody deserves anything like what life has gave us and took from you.
“Nothing will ever be the same without you, but I know you’ll always be here.
“You left me with the most important and precious thing I could ever want and be more grateful for, our son.
“Carter Tollan Robertson I promise I will do every possible thing to make you so proud and build our son to become everything you wanted.
“I couldn’t thank you more for giving me the privilege of becoming a dad to such an amazing baby boy giving me a purpose.
“You will never be not thought of Becky, you had so much more to do.
“I couldn’t think of a more loving mum than you for such a short period of time you got to be one.
“I will bring up our son to be everything he deserves I won’t ever let you down I promise!
“Me and Carter are going to make you so proud!”
Just hours before her unexpected death, Rebecca posted a photo on Facebook of herself getting ready for a night out.
At the same house where she was found dead, two men, aged 21 and 26, were taken to hospital as a precaution.
