He also admitted possessing cocaine from the same date.

The defendant had been further charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Turner’s defence counsel applied for this charge to be dismissed, and a hearing for this will be held at Newport Crown Court on January 27.

Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke set a provisional trial date of June 16. Turner was re-admitted to bail, and received an interim disqualification from driving as a result of his guilty pleas.
