A DARWEN woman has been cleared of the manslaughter of a teenage girl who overdosed on almost 100 of her tablets.

Earlier, Sally Corkhill, aged 41, had pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court to abduction and supplying Valium to a 14-year-old and an 11-year-old.

Melissa Strickson, aged 13, died after swallowing nearly 100 Co-proxamol tablets and several Valium pills.
