A teenager appeared in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow yesterday accused of killing a 13-year-old girl by supplying her with ecstasy.
Callum Owens, 19, of Irvine, Ayrshire, denies the culpable homicide of Grace Handling, also from Irvine, by recklessly and unlawfully supplying a lethal drug to her on June 28, 2018.
Prosecutors state that Grace ingested the drug to the danger of her health, safety and life and died as a consequence of this and Owens killed her.
He is also accused of being concerned in the supply of ecstasy from addresses in Irvine and at Largs train station between June 25 and 29, 2018.
Owens, who is represented by defence QC Donald Findlay, denies both charges against him.
Trial was set by judge Lord Fairley for September 7 this year.
Grace passed away at a house in Irvine, Ayrshire, on the day school broke up for the holidays in 2018.
