Rock star Pete Doherty has been charged with allegedly providing the drugs that killed heiress filmmaker Robin Whitehead, who died of a suspected overdose in January.
Whitehead, 27, had been working on a documentary about the drug-addict singer’s decadent lifestyle and his relationship with supermodel Kate Moss. Robin — an heir to the Goldsmith dynasty — was found dead in an East London apartment nearly three months ago.
The English musician was taken into custody after police saw a footage Whitehead had filmed at an apartment in Homerton, East London. It showed Doherty, 31, Whitehead, and others using heroin and crack allegedly provided by the Babyshambles star. Pete left for his Wiltshire home leaving behind a stash of drugs, before Whitehead died. However, Doherty insists he is innocent.
“Pete’s adamant he played no part in Robin’s death. He is still very distressed….”
Doherty has been released on bond and is expected back in court next month.
