RAPPER ‘LEFT CORRIE STAR’S GIRL TO DIE’
Rapper left Louella to die, court told
A GRIME star allegedly supplied Corrie actor John Michie’s daughter with party drug 2C-P then left her to die.
Ceon Broughton appeared in court yesterday charged with the manslaughter of Louella Fletcher-Michie.
THE daughter of Corrie star John Michie was the first person in the UK to die from party drug 2C-P.
Louella Fletcher-Michie’s grime artist boyfriend allegedly supplied her with the drug and then “left her to die”.
Ceon Broughton yesterday appeared in court charged with her manslaughter.
Louella was found dead at the Bestival music event in Dorset on her 25th birthday.
A court heard she is believed to be the first person to die in the UK from taking the Class A party drug 2C-P. Broughton, 29, known as CEONRPG, who has recorded with rappers Skepta and Wiley, allegedly failed to help Louella as she lay dying.
He is also accused of three charges of supplying class A drugs.
The rapper, from Enfield, north London, allegedly gave 2C-P to Louella and a pal at Glastonbury.
He is accused of giving it to Louella again at Bestival.
Prosecutors said he was charged with manslaughter over his alleged lack of action as she was dying.
Judge Keith Cutler agreed at Winchester Crown Court, Hants, for the three drug supply charges to be added to the manslaughter rap Broughton already faced.
His lawyer Richard Thomas said he would be looking into whether to apply for the case to be dismissed. Broughton did not enter pleas. Judge Cutler granted him unconditional bail to June 1. Louella’s actor dad played Karl Munro in Coronation Street for two years from 2011 and is surgeon Guy Self in BBC medical dramas Holby City and Casualty.
In a statement after Louella’s death the family said: “Our hearts are broken by this horrific tragedy.”
