Sentencing, Judge Graham Cottle told Khanlarian: "You were playing a significant role - of that there is no doubt.

"You were prepared to sell to girls as young as these three. Leah died as a consequence of the pills which you sold."

He added: "In a comparably short time she was clearly suffering with the effects of what you had sold her.

"You are exhibiting remorse for what has happened.

"No sentence I can pass can change the tragic outcome of this case."
