A 27-YEAR-OLD Heathfield man who supplied cocaine to a mother who died, has been jailed for two years and nine months.

Reece Webb, of Drum Way, admitted supplying cocaine in 2023 in Exeter.

Exeter Crown Court heard a woman, who had an 11-year-old daughter, died from an overdose.

Webb was arrested and made full admissions about his involvement.

The court heard Webb was a hard working man who used cocaine socially but this developed into a £100 a day addiction.

He began supplying the drug to feed his own addiction and make money.

Judge Stephen Climie said supplying class A drugs can have a devastating impact as in this case where a mother died.

He said the least sentence he could pass was two years and nine months immediate custody.
