Jeni Larmour died on her first night at university after taking drugs given to her 'by another', a coroner has ruled
A high-achieving student died on her first night at university after taking drugs given to her "by another", a coroner has ruled.
She said the former deputy head girl had arrived at Newcastle University and had drunk alcohol with flatmates between 17:00 and 19:00. Police searched the flat in Park View halls with sniffer dogs and found ketamine, cannabis and MDMA in Mr Kalliecharan's room but he insisted the ketamine was not his.Daughter 'vindicated'
"I have had to hear the substance that killed Jeni was her own and that she was wilfully engaged with the supplying of these drugs to others. "Jeni forgot her ID that night. If she hadn't, or the bar she was seeking to enter had let her in or somebody different had gone back to the room with her, we don't feel this would've happened.Student backlash
But after Miss Larmour's death there had been a backlash when the vice-chancellor emailed students a "stark" warning about the risks of drink and drugs, she said.
