aussiephil Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Manslaughter charge follows ecstasy death at party AAP January 19, 2010 8:19AM A MAN has been charged with manslaughter following the drug overdose death of a 19-year-old woman at a party in NSW's south-west. Two men and two women, all young adults, overdosed on a substance described as liquid ecstasy at a party in Albury on January 13, police said. Several people were taken to hospital and on Saturday the 19-year-old woman's condition deteriorated and she died. Following her death, a 36-year-old Albury man was arrested yesterday and charged with her manslaughter. He has also been charged with two counts of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm in relation to two young men who attended the party. He has been refused bail to appear at Albury Local Court later today. Following on from the discussion in the Heroin Flyer thread, maybe we should se more of these types of charges, would that be a deterrant to try & curb drug distribution??

itku2er Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I think they should make it a law. Hold all these people accountable for their actions, maybe that would save someones life. But then again the people that use these types of drugs and engage in reckless behavior don't think that anything will ever happen to them. Phil keep us posted on this please, I would love to know how the trial turns out and if he is sentenced and what his punishment would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
