Oisin Crawford who tragicallty died at a party in St Johnston. (North West Newspix).
Police are in a race against time to find the evil drug dealers who dished out deadly e tabs to young men, leaving one dead and four in hospital.
Tragic Oisin Crawford (22) died yesterday morning after attending a friend’s 21st birthday party at a house in the border village of St Johnston.
Prayers are being said for his friend, Simon Lynch, also 22, who remains in a critical condition in hospital.
His father, Liam, has called on the public to help police to catch those involved in the drugs trade on both sides of the border.
There are fears the so-called “bad batch” of drugs – which has killed several other people in Ireland this year including a 16-year-old boy – are “on the streets” in Derry.
Gardai are hoping to take statements today from all those who were at the house party on St Johnston’s Main Street in the early hours of yesterday in the hope of tracing vital witnesses who might be able to help catch the dealers.
Oisin is the latest victim of the drugs trade – and the trade in ecstasy tablets containing deadly chemicals.
The Health Service Executive (Health Board) has already identified the drugs involved in the Donegal case as Double Black or Double Cross.
Anyone with information should give it to their nearest police station or via the confidential telephone.
