A musician with a record deal has left his promising career in tatters after "getting busy and making money" in the ketamine trade.
Police uncovered nearly £40,000 of drugs when they raided Daniel O'Neill's flat, with he and co-conspirator Brady Tierney having secretly plotted to "undercut" their underworld rivals.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday afternoon that Merseyside Police executed a search warrant at O'Neill's apartment on Alexandra Road in Waterloo at around 1.15pm on November 8 last year. Jonathan Rogers, prosecuting, said that the 31-year-old was in the bedroom with his mobile phone in his hand while Tierney was present in the kitchen.
