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.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.
