Dealer who gave killer drugs to our teenage daughter 'murdered her': Parents' attack on supplier as he is jailed for five and a half years Luke Carey supplied Poppy Rodgers with Class A drug similar to MDMA But after taking the substance at a friend's house she collapsed and died Carey previously pleaded guilty to supplying the 'designer drug' 25-year-old today jailed for six years and five months 'I feel pain I never knew existed' said Poppy's mother Ann The parents of a teenager who died after taking a "designer drug" yesterday condemned the supplier for effectively murdering her. Poppy Rodgers, 16, collapsed after ignoring a friend's warning not to try 4-methylamphetamine, a Class A drug. She was "poisoned" by Luke Carey, 25, who bragged about buying the drug, a derivative of amphetamine (speed), at a cheap rate and knew that the batch was blamed for the death of a 22-year-old man a year earlier. Carey, who admitted seven charges related to the supply of drugs, was jailed for six years and five months at York Crown Court yesterday in what Judge Michael Mettyear described as a "truly tragic case." The teenager's father, Mark, said outside court: "I understand in law this might not be murder but, given the circumstances, it certainly feels like that to us. Poppy was at a friend's house in York in April last year when Carey produced a bag of drugs he claimed was ecstasy and she tried some. Nicholas Worsley, prosecuting, said Poppy's eyes began rolling and she was sweating heavily "but despite this Carey asked her if she wanted more." Paramedics were called but she died in hospital. One of her friends was also taken to hospital but survived. Police searched Carey's house and found a bag of the substance with an estimated street value of £1,400. He initially denied any wrongdoing and claimed others in the house were trying to set him up, the court heard. But he pleaded guilty on the day he was due to stand trial. Carey was aware the strong drugs had been linked to the death of John Causer the previous May and yet gave it out and tried some himself. Poppy's mother, Ann, said in a statement: "The day that Carey gave my child poison not only ended her life but took mine too. Richard Reed, defending, said Carey enjoyed getting high with other people. "He will have to live for the rest of his life with the consequences of his actions," he said. Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Costello of North Yorkshire Police said: "Carey played roulette with a life that wasn't his own.
