A member of a drugs gang involved in a confrontation with another dealer who was stabbed to death in Norfolk has been sentenced for drugs supply offences.
Viktorija Kuzule had been part of a drugs gang supplying class A drugs in Thetford in 2019.
The 20-year-old had previously admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply cocaine and diamorphine in the town between April 1, 2019 and November 21, 2019.
Kuzule also admitted a further charge of failing to comply with a section 49 notice to disclose the key to protected information, namely a mobile phone, on March 13, 2021.
She was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment suspended for 24 months when she appeared at Norwich Crown Court earlier this month.
Judge Alice Robinson also ordered Kuzule, of Pine Close, Thetford, to do 20 days Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) and 150 hours unpaid work.
Kuzule was part of a drugs gang which was involved in a violent confrontation with David Lawal who was stabbed to death after also supplying drugs in the town.
Mr Lawal, 25, was found dead at a bridge on the A134 Brandon Road in Thetford, where he had suffered a single stab wound to the neck on October 3, 2019.
In December last year Amrik Singh, then 19, was sentenced to a total of six years in a Young Offenders Institution (YOI) after he previously admitted manslaughter following Mr Lawal's death.
He also admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Also sentenced last December, were Iddi Zito, then 19, from East London, Elie Saba, then 36, of Ilford and Lisa DeSousa, then 23, of London, who had all previously admitted conspiracy to supply class A drugs offences.
Zito was sentenced to three years, and three months in a young offenders institute, Saba to eight years in custody and DeSousa to three years and three months in custody.
In March this year, Claudia Annius, 22, from Bedford was sentenced to two years imprisonment, suspended for two years, after she admitted two counts of conspiring to supply class A drugs and another offence of assisting an offender.
She was ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work and a 30-day rehabilitation activity requirement.
