Court told tests ongoing to determine if man's death linked to drug
A man appeared in court on Monday accused of supplying a “bad batch” of pregabalin to a man who later found dead.
The officer outlined how there was a “sudden death” at the Lighthouse Hostel in Ballymena on Friday where a man was found dead in his room with a box of pregabalin lying beside him. The court also heard that on the day he was found dead, the witness saw Hayes give the deceased a box of pregabalin. When Hayes’ room at the hostel was searched, “we found a sheet of pregabalin and it appears to be the same brand as the box that was found in the deceased’s room,” said the officer.
Objecting to bail, DC Robinson said Hayes was aware of the name of the witness so there was a fear of witness interference and also that despite conceding in interviews that the “is aware of this bad batch going around Belfast…we believe that he will continue to deal drugs knowing that these drugs are fatal and he just doesn’t care”.
