BY ISABEL EVERETT

A woman will face court on Wednesday charged with alleged ongoing drug supply across the Hunter.

She was arrested at Silverwater Gaol earlier in the month on July 2nd, after police received information about the ongoing supply of methylamphetamine and cannabis in the Hunter, whilst investigating a murder.

Strike Force Lirki was established to investigate the death of a 36-year-old man at Cessnock in September 2018.

A 34-year-old man was charged over the death and remains before the courts.

The 33-year-old woman was charged with three counts of supply prohibited drug on an ongoing basis and one count of supply indictable quantity of prohibited drug.

She is due to appear in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday 15th July 2020.
