Who are the Mutiny Festival victims, what happened there and what are Green Heineken ecstasy pills?

TWO people have died and 13 others are being treated in hospital after revellers at the Mutiny Festival took a “rogue batch” of ecstasy pills.

Let’s take a closer at the victims and the Green Heineken tablets believed to be involved.

Who are the Mutiny festival victims?

Georgia Jones, 18, and Tommy Cowan, 20, died at the festival in Portsmouth.

Hampshire Police have arrested three men on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs at the dance music event.

Ms Jones's mother also wrote of her grief at losing "her little girl" on Facebook.

Janine Milburn said she hoped her daughter's death would deter others from "taking anything ever".

Tommy, from Havant, who became a father in 2016, was named in heartbreaking tributes.

The mother of his child posted: "We will love you always and forever."

What happened at the event?

Festival-goers have described people taking "Green Heineken" pills before the horror unfolded.

Georgia's mum Janine Milburn, said her daughter suffered a 45-minute fit before her death.

Writing on Facebook, she said: "I can now say Georgia died yesterday due to complications after taking two pills at Mutiny.

"If nothing else, I hope what has happened to her will deter you from taking anything ever.

“The pills has caused her temperature to rise so high it made her fit for 45 mins. This then caused her muscle to break down and turn her blood acidic.

"Her heart was irregular and stopped numerous times and then her lungs filled with blood and fluid and I made the decision to turn everything off.

"My little girl was 18 and full of life I just hope this stops at least some of you from ending up the same."

Festival organisers issued an urgent warning about super-strength drugs circulating the campsite before cancelling the second day of the event, attended by tens of thousands of people.

Both victims were rushed to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham but deaths are being treated as separate incidents by police.

The two-day festival featured headliners Dizzee Rascal, Craig David and Sean Paul. DJs Pete Tong and Idris Elba also feature on the bill.

At least 30,000 festival-goers headed to the south coast for the party event.

What are Green Heineken tablets?

A batch of “rogue” ecstasy pills known as Green Heinekens are being blamed for the deaths.

Rectangular in shape, the illegal tablets are green in colour and have the word Heineken on them.

They are in no way associated with the beer giant which shares the same name.

The tablets are supposed to contain MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy.

There is still no confirmation as to what other substances were in the drugs.
