Mum of girl who died after taking ecstasy says she forgives her dealer after he was spared jail
THE Mum of a 15-year-old girl who died after taking ecstasy says she "feels no hatred" towards her daughter's dealer after he was spared jail.
Fletcher-Ward, 19, sold 15 MDMA tablets to Shakira and her friends who took them in a park before the teen collapsed in July 2018. Mum Rita said: "What Shakira did by taking the drugs was a mistake but she paid the ultimate price and it cost her her life."I cannot hold any hatred towards Josh Ward for what he did. He also made a mistake but he has been remorseful through the whole process."I can never forgive him but I can live with it as he showed remorse.A court previously heard how Shakira took three of the high-strength pills, called "Duplos" before her death.
"They are not party drugs, not a game, not something you try now and then. They will kill a proportion of those who take them.
