The grieving dad of a teenager who died after taking ecstasy has called for a law targeting killer drug dealers.
Stewart Handling’s 13-year-old daughter, Grace, took the drug at a party. Her family was left “heartbroken all over again” when the man who admitted to giving Grace the fatal drugs was acquitted after the jury returned a not proven verdict.
Stewart, of Irvine, Ayrshire, said Callum Owens was charged with culpable homicide which allows juries wriggle room to deliver a not proven or not guilty verdict.
