Teenager admits supplying dangerous 'Superman' drug linked to Telford man's death
A Polish teenager has pleaded guilty to supplying a dangerous batch of 'Superman' pills linked to the deaths of four men, including one from Telford.
Adam Lubecki, 19, appeared at court via video link and admitted playing a role in the supply of a class A drug, known as PMMA.
Police have seized more than 400 of the tablets but still don't know how many of the red, triangular pills are in circulation.
The batch has been linked to the death of 27-year-old Daniel Bagnall, who was found at a property on Woodside Road in Ketley on New Year's Day.
It is also lined to the death of three men around Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ipswich Crown Court heard Lubecki played a significant role in dealing drugs.
Peter Gair, prosecuting, told the court there was evidence through text messages of Lubecki dealing the drugs.
Lubecki admitted one charge of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug, known as PMMA, to another between December 21 and January 2.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a class B drug, amphetamines, with intent to supply on January 2.
Police launched a hunt for the deadly tablets following the deaths of Lithuanian-born Justas Ropas, 22, and Gediminas Kulokas, 24, in Ipswich.
Mr. Ropas died on Christmas Eve and his fellow countryman died on New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Day John Hocking, 20, was found dead in the village of Rendlesham, Suffolk, the same day as Daniel Bagnall, 27, 180 miles away in Telford.
Lubecki, of Ipswich, was remanded in custody to appear for sentencing at the same court during the week starting February 16.
A second man, Damian Malolepszy, 28, of Telford, is charged with being concerned in the supply of ecstasy and possession with intent to supply a controlled drug.
Malolepszy is remanded in custody and his case will be heard at Shrewsbury Crown Court on March 9 and is yet to enter a plea.
