A father from Kent has appeared in British court accused of killing his 17-year-old daughter after he allegedly supplied her with MDMA.

Jason Wilkes, 44, is charged with the manslaughter of Chloe Wilkes who died after falling ill at home in Tunbridge Way, Ashford, on July 27.

Wilkes, who is also charged with supplying a class A drug (the active ingredient of 'ecstasy'), appeared at Canterbury Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.

He was remanded in custody and is expected to enter pleas at his next hearing on November 3.

An inquest into Chloe's death was opened and adjourned earlier this month.
