With long, blonde hair flowing from beneath a headscarf and shades shielding her eyes from the late summer sun, Louella Fletcher-Michie looked like any other young festival-goer eagerly anticipating the evening ahead.

Acclaimed pop and rap stars, the 'world's biggest bouncy castle' and a cocktail bus were among the many attractions on offer at Bestival, being held for the first time at Lulworth Castle, on Dorset's idyllic Jurassic Coast.

Illicit drugs, perhaps inevitably, were available too, if you knew who to ask.

But Louella's parents — the actor John Michie, who plays neurosurgeon Guy Self in BBC hospital drama Holby City, and his partner, former Hot Gossip dancer Carol Fletcher — weren't unduly concerned.

Their bubbly, but sensible, yoga-instructor daughter might have experimented on occasion, but she had what they described as a 'cautious' and 'measured' attitude towards illegal substances.

Besides, Louella was with her boyfriend, aspiring musician Ceon Broughton, whom John and Carol had welcomed into their family over the course of his 15-month on-off relationship with Louella.

Broughton had spent Christmas at the Michies' £1.2 million home in North London, worked with Louella's brother Sam and had been a guest at John's 60th birthday dinner. There was no reason to believe he didn't have their daughter's best interests at heart.

And when the unthinkable happened, and Louella died after taking the newly available drug 2C-P at Bestival that evening in September 2017, John and Carol were quick to defend him, despite their grief and rumours that Broughton — who had a previous conviction for supplying drugs — may be implicated in her death.

A heartbroken John, 62, even issued a statement saying he believed there to be no 'malice' involved, adding it was 'just a tragic accident'.

How sickening his words must sound now; how utterly misplaced his trust in Broughton, 30, who was yesterday found guilty of manslaughter and supplying class A drugs.

For, as we can reveal here, Louella wasn't the first woman to fall victim to Broughton's odious obsession with drugs and death.

The court heard he was a sadistic drug-dealer who took 'callous pleasure' in giving women large doses of illegal substances before filming the humiliating results.

It was said he had a 'morbid' obsession with images of death, hoarding at least a dozen photographs of corpses and videos of people dying, including from knife violence, on his phone, it can be reported for the first time yesterday.

He even told one ex-girlfriend, a Swedish student named Paulina Aberg, that he dreamt of pushing her off a roof and covering up the murder, lawyers said.

The court also heard how the 30-year-old took 'sadistic pleasure' in filming Paulina after she smashed her head against a sink, knocking herself out after he gave her a 'whole load of drugs'.

In Louella's case, Broughton had supplied her with six times the usual dose of 2C-P — one of a potent new breed of psychedelic stimulants that can cause acute psychosis.

When she'd reacted badly to it, he had spent six hours filming her distress, allegedly seeking a perverse pleasure in the sight of her hallucinating, crying for her mother and harming herself.

Although a hospital tent at the festival stood only 400m away, he dismissed Louella's cries for help as those of a 'drama queen' and failed to get medical assistance that would almost certainly have saved her life.

Broughton — who it is thought even filmed Louella after she had died, an hour short of her 25th birthday, in woodland on the outskirts of the festival, where they remained alone — allegedly had another motive for not seeking help.

He had received a suspended sentence for two counts of carrying knives just a month earlier.

Calling the police or other authorities, he realised, would risk further investigation, prosecution and prison.

For John and Carol and their two older children, Sam and Daisy, who sat in court throughout Broughton's three-week trial at Winchester Crown Court, the sense of betrayal following his conviction for manslaughter through gross negligence must be nothing short of earth-shattering.

Louella Fletcher-Michie, the 24-year-old daughter of actor John Michie, died after being given a fatal amount of 2-CP at Bestival. Her boyfriend, Ceon Broughton, was yesterday convicted of manslaughter for supplying the drug and failing to help her when she collapsed

Speaking outside the court yesterday, Mr Michie said: 'Regardless of the outcome of this harrowing trial, there were never going to be any winners.

'We began our life sentence on what would have been Louella's 25th birthday. Ceon's life sentence is knowing he didn't help Louella to live.'

Their despair will not be lost on the family of Paulina, who escaped Broughton's morbid obessions. Relatives in Sweden reacted to the news with quiet dignity. 'It will bring comfort,' one said.

Swedish Paulina Aberg (above) contacted the prosecutor by email and sent a letter to the court after Broughton's trial started

Paulina's father, music producer Ingemar Aberg, was more direct. Speaking exclusively to the Mail from Stockholm, he said: 'I hope he rots in jail.'

So how did Broughton manage to hide his monstrous behaviour from Louella's loving parents?

A Jekyll and Hyde character whose grandmother has described him as placid and 'polite', he appeared equally at ease in the Michies' privileged celebrity world as he did among the drug-fuelled rap music industry.

Broughton's father (the only member of his family who came to court) and mother separated when he was a child, his mother remarrying a property consultant, with whom she had two daughters, now in their early 20s.

The family moved from London to a semi-detached home in leafier Watford, where — although his mother later separated from her second husband — her son appeared to enjoy a loving upbringing.

Certainly, neighbours told the Mail they were a 'nice' family about whom they had not 'a bad word to say'. As a teenager, however, Broughton discovered skateboarding, his new hobby eventually dragging him into an altogether murkier world.

By his 20s, he was a fully-fledged member of skateboarding gang Laigon Life, a group that also produced violent rap music and whose social media outpourings and YouTube videos celebrated street fights and debauchery. In one piece of footage, apparently from a festival, a youth sits among tents pretending to be a drug-dealer.

Another chillingly prescient moment shows a woman slumped half-unconscious on public transport, seemingly unaware she is being filmed.

Such publicly available clips, it emerged, were merely a drop in the ocean of Broughton's compulsion to film potentially criminal activity.

Police discovered a wealth of more information on his iPhone, which Broughton's lawyers successfully argued would prejudice a jury's decision.

In other shock footage not shown to the jury, he is seen shoving a spoonful of white powder into a scantily-clad woman's nose.

He brusquely tells the woman to do 'more'. The unknown female responds: 'More?', and is apparently unsure, before he again shoves the spoon under her nose.

'No, no, you have to do more,' he says, before feeding her the rest of the dose, while he films it.

Broughton defended A friend of Ms Fletcher-Michie said that he had sympathy for Broughton. 'The reason I feel so bad for him is that that could have been me or any of my friends,' he told The Times. 'People say he watched her lying on the floor, looking as if she was dying but every time I go to a festival I see at least one of my friends lying on the floor, looking like they're dying. You don't really acknowledge it as a life-or-death situation. Everyone is doing that. It's just festival antics. Ceon is being portrayed as some kind of drug-dealing gangsta rapper but he's a very nice, honest guy. 'He wasn't a drug-dealer. It was literally unlucky.' Advertisement

Another disturbing clip from his phone showed a woman in pink underwear dancing in front of a bathroom mirror, apparently under the influence and unaware she was being filmed by him.

The evidence was so damning, however, that Broughton's lawyers managed to have it ruled out as overly prejudicial, as it was said it showed he took a 'callous pleasure … in the pain of others'.

'No justice,' John Michie spat from the public gallery, after the judge announced his decision to exclude the devastating material.

Despite Broughton's abhorrent behaviour, his profile grew. He began rapping under the artist name CEONRPG, working with renowned 'grime' (a genre of electronic dance music) stars such as Wiley and Mercury award-winner Skepta and amassing some 20,000 followers on Instagram.

He modelled for Chanel at London Fashion Week and in 2017 was pictured, among other artists, alongside London Mayor Sadiq Khan at the Mobo music awards.

Yet he continued to lead a parallel, despicable, life.

On social media, a picture emerged of Broughton and a fellow member of Laigon Life next to suspicious lines of white power, and he was accused of sexual assault, rape and emotional abuse.

He was one of 38 male 'abusers in UK creative scenes' whose names appeared in a post-Weinstein era online list, the creator of which is unknown.

This was, it should be stressed, an unverified list which played no part in Broughton's trial — but were the allegations to become widespread and his dubious treatment of women better known, it is fair to assume his and Louella's paths might never have crossed.

As it was, his burgeoning success would have been applauded by the Michies, who shun showbusiness airs and graces.

John, who found fame as Detective Inspector Robbie Ross in Nineties drama series Taggart before landing the role of Karl Munro in ITV soap Coronation Street in 2011, met dancer Carol on the set of an advert in the Eighties.

Broken TV star's tragic statement after hearing jury's verdicts Actor John Michie said this afternoon his family's 'life sentence' began when his daughter was heartlessly left to die in woodland by Ceon Broughton. Reading from his phone outside court yesterday, the 62-year-old said: 'Regardless of the outcome of this trial, there was never going to be any winners. 'We began our life sentence on what would have have Louella's 25th birthday.. Ceon's life sentence is knowing he did not help Louella to live.' Advertisement

Louella's film director brother Sam specialises in directing rap videos, and her sister Daisy is a dancer and stylist.

Home, John once declared proudly, is a 'United Nations' street in multicultural Holloway and family holidays are spent on the same Spanish campsite every year.

It is easy to see how Broughton might have fitted in, not least because Louella, who taught a dance-based form of yoga called Voga, had the same down-to-earth demeanour as her family. After she and Broughton became an item in June 2016, John and Carol, with whom Louella still lived, welcomed him into their home, as they did all her friends.

'I loved that as I felt involved with her life,' Carol told the court. 'We welcomed Ceon, too.'

But Broughton — who was invited to John's 60th birthday restaurant meal in October 2016 — ended their relationship 'suddenly' after spending Christmas with the family that December.

Louella, so enamoured by Broughton she decorated her bedroom with graffiti that read 'Laigon Life', was apparently 'devastated' by the unexplained split. By the summer of 2017, however, they were back together.

'She loved Ceon more than anyone before,' Carol told the court. Sadly, it seems doubtful the feeling was reciprocated. As her sister Daisy put it: 'I think she loved Ceon but I don't think he loved her.'

Recently reunited when they attended Bestival together, Louella and Broughton's decision to head away from the music area into the wooded outskirts of the festival on September 10 was understandable, says Carol.

'They liked trees and the outdoors. It was not a surprise that they went to the forest.'

Some two hours after taking 2C-P — which is typically smoked or snorted — at 6.48pm, Broughton called Louella's family to tell them Louella was having what he described as a 'bad trip'.

After Carol heard her daughter crying in the background, she and John — who both urged Broughton to seek medical help — embarked on a frantic 130-mile drive from London to Dorset to rescue their daughter.

Meanwhile, Broughton continued his cruel and relentless recording of Louella — one video he made is 51 minutes long — as she became increasingly disorientated, rubbing herself with brambles and cutting her face and hands.

Her garbled cries were interspersed with heart-breaking moments of lucidity — at one stage she shouted: 'Dad, I love you.'

Broughton appeared impervious to her distress, a note he recorded on his phone even appearing to romanticise her ordeal, the court heard, 'referring to her laying beneath with him, nettles and thorns, a reference to bleeding where the heart was torn'. If there was a nagging voice telling him to seek help, he silenced it, texting a friend to explain he couldn't get 'bagged' (slang for arrested).

Grime rapper was convicted of having a KNIFE in public but spared jail just weeks before Bestival The drug dealer convicted of killing Louella Fletcher-Michie had avoided a jail term for possessing a knife just a month before, it can be revealed yesterday. It can be reported for the first time yesterday that Broughton had avoided being jailed for possession of a bladed article in public. He was given a 24-week sentence suspended for a year at Thames magistrates' court in August 2017, just a month before he and Louella attended the music festival where she died. Prosecutors said Broughton did not get help for Louella because he was on the suspended jail term and feared the consequences. Advertisement

At 11.24pm, a picture he took appears to show Louella's lifeless body at his feet.

According to Prosecutor William Mousley QC, his decision not to seek help was 'born out of selfishness and self-preservation' and by the time John and Carol arrived at the festival, it was too late.

Shortly after Louella's death was announced, rumours of Broughton's involvement swirled and he was arrested on suspicion of her murder. But police found no evidence Louella had been assaulted and he was released under investigation.

An inquest revealed Louella had died of an overdose. Like Broughton, she also had the drugs ketamine and MDMA in her system, which caused a long period of agitation, eventually fatally blocking her airways.

Broughton — who had already pleaded guilty to supplying 2C-P to Louella and her friend at Glastonbury Festival three months before she died — was charged with manslaughter and supplying her with a second dose of 2C-P last February.

Granted unconditional police bail, he was allowed to live in his privately rented waterside terrace home in a converted Victorian arms factory in Enfield, North London, as he awaited trial. He even released another single.

But any hopes he could resume his burgeoning music career have been lost with his conviction, along with the selfless support he enjoyed from Louella's family.

Having decided not to give evidence, thus denying her loved ones the opportunity to understand the precise circumstances surrounding her death, Broughton was called evil by a distraught John Michie when he passed the man in the court atrium.

Broughton smashed a table and destroyed a water-cooler in retaliation, before being restrained by police.

As he awaits the terms of his sentence, to be decided yesterday, he will have plenty of time to reflect on the horrific manner in which he let down the woman who loved him.

As, too, will John Michie, whose assessment of his initial support for Broughton was summarised with tragic understatement to the jurors: 'Clearly, I made a mistake.'

'He filmed me unconscious too': Rapper's ex-girlfriend reveals he made footage of her after drugs binge as his love of grotesque death images emerges

Swedish Paulina Aberg (above) contacted the prosecutor by email and sent a letter to the court after Broughton's trial started

Ceon Broughton's morbid obsession with filming women has been revealed after an ex girlfriend said he once recorded her while she was badly bleeding and said he wanted to throw her off a roof and cover up her murder.

Swedish Paulina Aberg contacted prosecutors after the trial started revealing she fell and cracked her head against a sink after Broughton gave her 'a whole load of drugs', but instead of helping he took out his phone and took a photograph of her wound.

She also told police that 'she was aware that the defendant had images of people suffering, including suffering death, on his phone, in which he appeared to have some interest'.

Broughton was today found guilty of manslaughter after supplying his girlfriend Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of Holby City star John Michie, with the so-called party drug 2-CP before her death at the Bestival music festival in 2017.

She also told police that 'she was aware that the defendant had images of people suffering, including suffering death, on his phone, in which he appeared to have some interest'.

Broughton was today found guilty of manslaughter after supplying his girlfriend Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of Holby City star John Michie, with the so-called party drug 2-CP before her death at the Bestival music festival in 2017.

Miss Aberg, who was flown from Sweden to Britain to give evidence, said she found recordings on Broughton's phone from April 27, 2017 and taken in Toronto, Canada.

In the clips, he is filmed giving a woman drugs and encouraging her to take more.

The court was shown the two clips, in which a young woman wearing a blue strappy top and underwear is offered a spoon by Broughton and snorts drugs.

In the second clip, he can be heard saying 'more' as he offers a second spoon to her, before telling the girl she needs to finish the powder on the spoon.

Miss Aberg claimed one month before Bestival, Broughton gave her a 'whole load of drugs' causing her to suffer a bad reaction, fall over and hurt herself.

She claims Broughton took a photo of her and had similar images of 'people suffering or suffering death on his phone, which he appeared to have some interest in.'

Footage (which can be viewed above) was also shared to Broughton's personal YouTube channel of a woman passed out on public transport.

Prosecutors said Broughton 'supplied drugs to females, girlfriends or not, in large amounts and made recordings of the process and the reaction.'

Broughton himself showed little emotion, flippantly telling his lawyer to 'text my mum'.

Speaking outside court, an emotional Mr Michie said: 'Regardless of the outcome of this harrowing trial, there are never going to be any winners.

'Our life sentence began on what would have been Louella's 25th birthday. Ceon's life sentence is knowing he did not help Louella to live.'

Broughton showed no emotion when the verdict was delivered but called out to his lawyers: 'Text my mum'. He will be sentenced tomorrow.

Mr Michie has been in the public gallery with his wife, Carol, and two children, Sam and Penny, throughout the trial, along with the defendant's father Dave.

As he left the public gallery he approached the defendant's father to offer his condolences. His wife left the courtroom in tears.

At the conclusion of an emotionally charged trial, it was revealed:

Broughton narrowly avoided a jail sentence a month earlier after he appeared in court for possession of a bladed article in public.

Miss Fletcher-Michie's devastated parents said in they were already serving a 'life sentence' of grief, following their daughter's overdose from the party drug 2-CP.

MailOnline revealed exclusively that a former girlfriend of Broughton said the rapper once filmed her bleeding from a head wound after she fell over from taking a large amount of drugs.

MailOnline also exclusively revealed that Holby City star John Michie clashed with the killer rapper outside of court calling him 'evil' as the grime star shouted at police to 'get off me bruv' and began hitting himself wildly.

Broughton's father Dave turned to the family and offered his sympathy following the verdict announcement.

Broughton was born in Croydon in 1989 and lived in in a small terraced house in Wembley Park before his parents split up when he was a young boy.

The 29-year-old attended a local college in Enfield, and one of his subjects was photography before he entered the world of music and fashion.

The rap artist, who goes by the stage name CEONRPG, was pictured among a number of artists alongside London mayor Sadiq Khan at the Mobo awards in 2017.

He also worked with the late American rapper Lil Peep, who was found dead on his tour bus aged 21 in November 2017, after taking a lethal mix of cannabis, cocaine, Tramadol, Xanax and fentanyl.

In 2017, Broughton released the song 'Duracell', which was produced by Skepta.

The song was about a girl 'disrespecting him' and 'crushing his heart' and in the music video - directed by Miss Fletcher-Michie's brother Sam - Broughton is seen waving a large knife around a picturesque river and mountain setting wearing a chainmail headpiece.

Miss Fletcher-Michie's godfather was One Foot In The Grave Star Richard Wilson

The song features lyrics including 'you crushed my heart and soul', 'how could you disrespect me?' and, 'you mean nothing now, see now I'm p****d'.

It was released on YouTube on September 5, days before Miss Michie was found dead on her 25th birthday in a woodland part of the festival site known as the Ambient Forrest.

Miss Fletcher-Michie attended Tiffany Theatre School in London and comes from a showbiz dynasty - her uncle and father are actors, and her mother a trained dancer.

She was the youngest daughter of actor John Michie and wife Carol Fletcher, a former dancer for TV troupe Hot Gossip.

A 'health fanatic', Miss Fletcher-Michie travelled to Mexico, Paris, Austria and Ibiza to teach yoga and worked as a model and dancer for the House of Voga.

The Michie family welcomed Broughton into their home and he appeared in family photographs including at the 60th birthday celebrations of Miss Fletcher-Michie's famous actor father, from Holby City.

Broughton spent Christmas in 2016 in their north London mansion then suddenly ended his relationship with Louella, leaving her 'heartbroken'.

Her mother, former Hot Gossip dancer Carol Fletcher, said her daughter fled to Los Angeles in the wake of the split, telling her, 'I have to get away, mum. I can't keep bumping into him in the street.'

But Miss Fletcher-Michie and Broughton had rekindled their relationship just weeks before Bestival and her mother said Miss Fletcher-Michie followed him to Bestival.

In a tragic twist, she said her daughter would never had gone to Bestival had it not been for Broughton.

Meanwhile it also emerged yesterday that Miss Fletcher-Michie's killer was obsessed with death images and had filmed other women struggling after he had fed them drugs at least twice before the tragedy.

The full extent of Broughton's sinister fascination with watching women dice with death was not told to the jury at Winchester Crown Court at his trial.

But MailOnline can reveal that police learned of two separate incidents where Broughton had used his mobile phone to photograph or film women stricken by drugs, in the same manner he captured the dying moments of his girlfriend.

Miss Fletcher-Michie, who grew up in a £1.2million Islington home, was found dead after taking 2-CP at the Bestival site in 2017

In other sickening images, Broughton, 29, had downloaded footage of people dying and stored them on his phone.

One of his own victims was his former Swedish girlfriend Paulina Aberg who he met in London while she was working at a fashion store.

Miss Aberg, 25, told police that in addition to an image of her bleeding from her head, she had seen images of others 'suffering' on the grime star's mobile phone.

Miss Aberg flew to Britain and told detectives that she and Broughton had been in a relationship.

On one occasion, she said, he had given her a 'whole load of drugs' and she fallen and cracked her head open.

She was bleeding from the wound as Broughton filmed the incident.

The incident happened early in August 2017, a month before Louella died in woodland on the edge of the Bestival festival site at Lulworth Castle, Dorset on September 11.

Miss Aberg, a voice over artist who worked as a member of sales staff at a Levis Store in London and is studying a media and communications degree in Stockholm, said she had a 'bad reaction' after Broughton fed her drugs.

She fell and was injured and later found that Broughton had taken an image of her while she was suffering.

She managed to delete the image but said there were other images of people suffering death or being taken ill which Broughton had an interest in.

Miss Aberg contacted prosecutor William Mousley, QC,by email and sent a letter to Winchester Crown Court after she learned that Broughton had been put on trial.

Mr Mousley told the judge while the jury were absent that the prosecution wanted to 'adduce evidence of other reprehensible conduct by the defendant.'

She flew to Britain to talk to police and prosecutors, but was not allowed to tell her story to the court.

Her mother, speaking at her Stockholm home, said: 'Paulina has gone on a break to America. I needed to protect her after this.

'She has decided that she does not want to talk to the media about it.'

The second known victim of Broughton's hideous interest in death images was a woman who was fed drugs by Broughton using a spoon earlier in 2017.

Police uncovered recordings on Broughton's phone of an incident on April 2017 that year.

The two clips showed a young woman in a blue strappy top and knickers being offered a spoon by Broughton and then snorting drugs.

In 2017, Broughton (left) released the song 'Duracell', which was produced by Skepta

Detectives were satisfied Broughton gave the drugs and then filmed the woman taking them.

The videos were seven and eight seconds long and in the second Broughton is seen to urge her to finish the powder on the spoon.

He is heard saying 'more' while offering a second spoon of drugs while the incident is recorded on his phone.

The videos were shot in Toronto, Canada, and shown to the court while the jury were not present.

During legal arguments, it was heard that Miss Aberg and Broughton had been in a relationship and on one occcasion he had given her a 'whole load of drugs' and she fell and cracked her head open.

Mr Mousley told High Court Judge Mr Justice Goose that Miss Aberg, who was flown from Sweden to Britain to give evidence, had seen images of 'people suffering' on Broughton's phone.

However, Stephen Kamlish QC, representing Broughton, said this was an 'ambush' by Miss Aberg, who had kept a journal in which she discussed her knowledge and feelings of Louella Fletcher-Michie's death and her resentment about the end of her own relationship with Broughton, 29.

Submitting a bad character application while the jury were not present, Mr Mousley said: 'The prosecution seeks to adduce evidence of other reprehensible conduct by the defendant.

'We seek the permission of the court to do so through two sources of evidence.

'The first source formed the submission of a bad character application on May 30, 2018. It relates to recordings found on Ceon Broughton's phone of an incident on April 27, 2017.

'This shows the defendant filming the giving of drugs to a female and exhorting her to take more. One of the videos is seven seconds and one is eight seconds. These were taken in Toronto, Canada.'

The court was shown the two clips, in which a young woman in a blue strappy top and knickers is offered a spoon by Broughton and snorts drugs.

In the second clip, he can be heard saying 'more' as he offers a second spoon to her, before telling the girl she needs to finish the powder on the spoon.

Mr Mousley continued: 'The other source on which the Crown seek permission is that which comes from a statement provided by a female last week.

'It deals with a specific incident which appears to have occurred some time in the first half of August 2017, so a month before events at Bestival.

'The defendant gives the witness what she describes as a 'whole load of drugs' and she says, as a result, she suffered a bad reaction, falling and hurting herself.

'She says that an image of her was taken by the defendant on his phone and subsequent to that she found it and she deleted the image.

'She also says over and above that specific incident, she was aware the defendant had images of people suffering or suffering death on his phone, which he appeared to have some interest in.

'Having regard to the issues in this case, what happened at Bestival and what happened in the video clip and in the description of Paulina Aberg, was supplying drugs to females, girlfriends or not, in large amounts and the recordings of the process and the reaction.'

Representing Broughton, Mr Kamlish called for the judge to refuse the application on the grounds the 'sleazy' evidence significantly changed the case and would be 'extremely prejudicial'.

He said: '[Miss Aberg] has waited until after the case has begun before deciding she had something to contribute. That's an important factor.

'She has taken a view, she has waited until the last moment to put this evidence before the jury. It is an ambush.

'There's a notebook full of resentment from beginning to end. She wants to hurt him in these proceedings. There is a good deal of resentment and she deals with her knowledge and feelings about Louella's death [in the notebook].

'On the banging of the head incident, she is not telling the truth, that's proved by a text we have quoted and the Crown have not.

'Whether or not the defendant was with her as it happened, he did not know she was hurt because she does not tell him. He puts her in a taxi and when she says she is hurt, he says 'can I help you?' and 'go to the doctor'.

'Also, why is it relevant that someone might take morbid interest in grotesque images?

'As my Lord has pointed out, this is not a case of salacious pleasure in death, it is whether the defendant was grossly negligent.

'This is just prejudicial. The effect will be to make the jury take a view against him. It is a step too far. There is some sleaziness involved and they may find the defendant took an unhealthy pleasure in suffering and that has never been the case.'

After hearing both barristers, Mr Justice Goose, who called the images Broughton was alleged to have, 'death images' during the application, told the court he was rejecting the application for the bad character evidence to be put before the jury.

He said he would give his full reasons later in the case, but said: 'I do not want [Miss Aberg] to believe for a moment this court is forming a view. I do not want her feeling she is being disbelieved.'
