Horrifying reports confirmed the death of a law student who passed away after consuming sweets laced with psychoactive substances.
According to reports from local media outlets, police claim the young woman hailed from Ilford in east London and was named Damilola Olakanmi.
She had reportedly purchased all of those gummies from an online shop but little did she know about what she was getting herself into.
Sources added that the sweets had been delivered to her residence last week and she first began feeling sick on Tuesday. And despite paramedics and other rescue members’ efforts, her condition began to deteriorate to a severe extent and she passed away before she could be transported to a nearby local hospital.
“She even had a friend who consumed the similarly poisoned candies. That friend was from the US and was visited by a doctor who later discharged her without signs of danger. But that was not the fate of Damilola”- the report continued.
The 37-year-old suspect in charge of the horrifying crime was reportedly arrested on Friday after being identified as Leon Brown who hails from South Norwood.
The young teen’s mother has been holding a vigil in her honor, right next to her bed, as the tragic reality of her daughter no longer being by her side sets in. The incident is being described as extremely heartbreaking by many loved ones who are trying to come to terms with the reality.
“This was her only child. Imagine taking away a child who did nothing wrong. She was innocent. She unknowingly consumed gummies that were lethal for one’s health”- they explained.
The victim was a law student and an only child and that’s why her sudden death has shattered the mother in more ways than one, making the heartbreak so much worse.
