A drug dealer and her supplier have admitted supplying MDMA to a university
student who died.
Joana Burns, 22, died after taking the Class A drug also known as ecstasy on
a night out in Sheffield to celebrate finishing her maths degree in 2017.
Katherine Lavin, 21, pleaded guilty to supplying Ms Burns with the drug and
Benjamin Williams, 25, admitted supplying it to Lavin.
The case was adjourned for sentencing at Sheffield Crown Court on 12
October.
Miss Burns was out with friends at Sheffield University Students’ Union and
died on 6 June.
The Sheffield Hallam University student, who was originally from Alfreton,
was at The Foundry when she collapsed.
A South Yorkshire Police report found she and her friends paid £7 each for
the drug.
Ms Burns’ mother, Mosca Burns, spoke at a Sheffield Hallam University
workshop aimed at encouraging girls to study maths.
She said she hoped her daughter’s legacy would be in “inspiring girls, not a
drugs death”.
Lavin, of Kentmoor Close in Stockport, admitted supplying a controlled Class
A drug and possession of cannabis.
Williams, of Melbourne Road in Sheffield, pleaded guilty to supplying a
controlled Class A drug.
