Ceon Broughton arriving at Winchester Crown Court this morning, where he is on trial for manslaughter and supplying Class A drugs
The daughter of Holby City star John Michie was the first person ever to have died after taking an overdose of the hallucinogenic drug 2C-P, a court heard today.
Medical experts know very little about the substance, which caused Louella Fletcher-Michie to 'scream like a wild animal', beat herself, and eat brambles.
It is alleged the 24-year-old was given a 'bumped up' dose of the drug by her rapper boyfriend Ceon Broughton, 29, who has denied manslaughter.
They rekindled their relationship just three weeks prior to the festival after an on-off relationship lasting more than a year.
Distressing footage played to Winchester Crown Court has shown Louella hallucinating, hitting herself, and rubbing brambles and stinging nettles across her face and body.
The aspiring dancer died over a period of six hours, jurors have heard.
Forensic Pathologist Dr Russell Delaney told the court today the synthetic substance can cause 'potent hallucinations and agitation', an abnormally fast heart rate and increased blood pressure, as well as raising body temperature.
Broughton had told police he had to restrain Louella with 'all his might' for half an hour after she began to 'spiral' and start attacking herself, the court heard today.
Louella could be seen shouting loudly, repeating incoherent sentences and even hitting herself in a series of clips
Louella's boyfriend, Ceon Broughton, gave her a 'bumped up' dose of the class A substance and 'failed to act' for six hours despite her needing urgent medical care, the court heard

It is alleged Broughton did not seek to get medical help for Louella, despite a hospital tent being just 400 metres away.
The prosecution claim the grime star 'didn't want to be arrested' as he was serving a suspended sentence and would likely be jailed.
Hallucinogenic drug 2C-P has been described as having a similar effect as LSD, also known as acid.
Users are likely to experience a distorted view of reality and objects and will see and hear things that are not really there.
2C-P is in the 2C family of drugs and because it is a stimulant, it can make users feel alert and awake. The drugs, which can be smoked or snorted, also affect emotions.
At high doses, people can feel confused, agitated and in some cases propelled into a delirious state. The charity added that the drugs may cause panic attacks and in some cases 'acute psychosis'.
Giving evidence today at Winchester Crown Court, Dr Delaney said Louella had 0.032 milligrams of 2C-P per litre of blood in her body, as well as smaller amounts of MDMA and ketamine.
Expert toxicologist Dr Stephen Morley told jurors he had never before dealt with a case involving the synthetic party drug, despite reporting on more than 30,000 post-mortem toxicology cases.
However, the drugs creator, chemist Alexander Shulgin, who is known as 'the Godfather of MDMA', wrote that taking too much 2C-P was a 'physical disaster', the court heard.
Prosecutor William Mousley QC said reports showed between four and seven people being rushed to hospital from a rave in America after taking the drug.
Questioning Dr Delaney, he said: 'It was reported to you by toxicologist Emma Pagden that there was very little literature detailing the effects of 2C-P as it is not commonly abused.
'The limited literature available says it is part of a group of drugs known to cause potent hallucinations and agitation.
