TWO teenagers from Basildon will face trial at Crown Court for allegedly supplying an Ecstasy tablet to Leah Betts.

They were released on bail on condition they live at their home addresses and do not contact each other. Smith and the 17-year-old are accused of supplying Ecstasy tablets between November 5 and November 12 last year.

Smith is also charged with supplying four Ecstasy tablets on November 11 last year. They face a committal hearing at Southend Magistrates Court on March 6.
