A BINMAN has appeared in court accused of supplying the drugs which killed teenager Leah Kerry at Bakers Park in Newton Abbot.

Jacob Khanlarian, 20, and from Newton Abbot, did not enter a plea when he appeared by video link from Exeter Prison before the city’s Crown Court.

His case was adjourned pending toxicology reports on samples taken from the teenager’s body.

Leah, 15, who came from Torquay and attended school in Salisbury, died in hospital after taking drugs with a group of friends in Bakers Park on July 15.

Khanlarian was not asked to enter a plea when he appeared before Judge Graham Cottle.

He is accused of possession of MDMA and cannabis with intent to supply.

Miss Caroline Bolt, prosecuting, said the case had to be adjourned for results of toxicology tests which were expected to establish the nature of the drugs found in Leah’s body.

She said: ‘We need to establish that the drugs supplied are the ones ingested by the young lady who unfortunately died.’

Judge Cottle adjourned the case until August 31 when Khanlarian is likely to enter pleas via the video link.
