Yahoo News Police say man arrested for Louella Michie's 'murder' is suspected of supplying Class A drugs
The 28-year-old man arrested for the suspected murder of Holby City star John Michie’s daughter Louella is being questioned over the supply of Class A drugs, police have revealed.
Louella’s body was found in woodland at music festival Bestival in Lulworth Castle, Dorset, in the early hours of Monday morning and though her father has insisted her death was “an accident” and said that the detained man is her boyfriend, Dorset police have not released him from custody and confirmed that he is being “interviewed on suspicion of supply of a controlled drug.”
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Derbyshire, of Dorset Police, said a post-mortem examination on Monday showed no clear signs of an assault, adding: “Detectives are working tirelessly to investigate the full circumstances surrounding this tragic death.
“A post mortem examination took place that was inconclusive and therefore we need to undertake a number of other examinations before we can establish why she died.
“The 28-year-old man arrested is in addition being interviewed on suspicion of supply of a controlled drug. He remains in custody today under caution in order to assist officers with the investigation. He was known to Louella.
“We continue to work with the festival organisers and our thoughts are with Louella’s family at this extremely difficult time.”
It’s assumed toxicology tests will be carried out on Louella’s body that will establish whether there were any substances in her system that contributed to her death.
Her suddent passing has devastated her family, with TV actor John, 60, telling The Sun newspaper that they have “lost an angel”.
“We’ve lost our angel. It’s not murder – they were friends. It was just a tragic mistake, a tragic accident. This was not a murder. They were boyfriend and girlfriend.
“She touched so many lives. She was so very positive, so bright, so out there. She had such energy. The tributes to her have been incredible,” he said.
