Louella Fletcher-Michie: Ceon Broughton accused of leaving dead girl 'about a minute from help' in Bestival woods
Summary
Ceon Broughton left his girlfriend Louella Fletcher-Michie in an area that would have taken "about a minute" to walk to help as she lay dead in secluded woods at Bestival, a court has heard. Broughton, who denies manslaughter and one charge of supplying a Class A drug, seemed "erratic" and kept wanting to run away after festival staff found Louellas lifeless body curled up in the woods, according to a security guard. Security worker Craig Welsh told the court today how he took Johns iPhone to search for Louella using a Google Maps pin after his boss refused to let the parents onto the festival site. Fellow security worker Aiden Lawrence said Broughton had been "erratic" when he finally went to find help, adding he had joined Mr Welsh after Louellas body was found. The court has heard former Coronation Street star Mr Michie and his wife, a dancer with Hot Gossip, ditched their Sunday roast to make their desperate drive to Bestival after hearing Louella "screech" down the phone "like a wild animal".
