Pair face trial accused of supplying cocaine that killed young mum

Two men are to stand trial accused of killing a young mum after allegedly supplying her with cocaine.

Barry McAuley, 39, and Martin Stewart, 33, are said to have "recklessly and unlawfully" given the "potentially lethal" class A drug to Rebecca Tollan on July 14 and 15 2019.

It is said to have happened at the Railway Tavern pub in Motherwell and at a house in Bellshill.

The culpable homicide charge states 23 year-old Rebecca died after taking the drug.

Stewart, of Viewpark, faces separate charges of being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis.

McAuley, also of Bellshill, features on one those cocaine charges.

The case called today at the High Court in Glasgow, where lawyers for the pair pled not guilty on their behalf.

Lord Arthurson fixed a trial due to begin in November next year.

Both McAuley and Stewart remain on bail meantime.
