Serving soldier charged with supplying cocaine in Wolverhampton

A serving soldier in the British Army has been charged with three counts of supplying Class A drugs in Wolverhampton last year.

Oliver Bramwell, 22, from Rosemount Gardens in Ackleton is accused of providing cocaine to three men on the morning of 13 December 2015 after a night out in the city.

One of the men, Kieran Bainbridge, 20, collapsed in the Moon under the Water on Lichfield Street. He was in a coma at hospital and died three days later.

A coroner subsequently ruled his death was caused by a cocaine-related irregular heartbeat.

Bramwell has been bailed to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on the 10 June 2016.
