Teen supplied drugs to Shellie

The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sold the pill to 16-year-old Shellie Callaghan that led to the teen collapsing at the party in Newtongrange last October.

Shellie was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after swallowing the tablet but tragically lost her fight for life just hours later.

The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to supplying ecstasy to others, in particular Shellie Callaghan, at an address in Midlothian, when she appeared alongside her two co-accused, Kaia Ward and Claire Paton, at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.

Ward (18), admitted a charge of being concerned in the supply of ecstasy at Newtongrange Public Park, while her not guilty plea to supplying the drug to Shelley was accepted by the Crown.

Paton (44), who appeared at court with the aid of a walking stick after recently suffering a stroke, pleaded guilty to supplying ecstasy to a 15-year-old girl and also to allowing the schoolgirl to consume drugs within her home.

Paton, now of Northumberland, also had not guilty pleas to possessing diamorphine and knowingly allowing her home to be used for smoking cannabis accepted by the Crown.

Following Shellie’s death Police Scotland issued a drug alert for rogue ecstasy tablets known as Purple Ninja Turtles and Red Bugatti Veyrons.

After the tragedy, around 300 of Shellie’s friends and family gathered to release Chinese lanterns into the sky.

Rev Malcolm Muir started up a Just Giving donation page in a bid to help Shellie’s family with any financial burdens, while family and friends also took to social media using the hashtag #SmileForShellie.

The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of ecstasy to others, in particular Shellie Callaghan, now deceased, at an address in Midlothian on October 14, 2016.

Ward, of Gorebridge, admitted to being concerned in the supply of ecstasy at Newtongrange Park, Midlothian, on October 15, 2016.

Paton pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of ecstasy to a 15-year-old girl at an address in Newtongrange, on October 14 and 15, 2016. Paton also admitted to wilfully exposing a child in a manner likely to cause her unnecessary suffering or injury to health by allowing the child to consume drugs within her former home on the same dates.
