The top coroner in Northern Ireland has said that 20 deaths from taking tablets similar to ecstasy is "principally a Northern Ireland problem."

John Lecky made the comment during an inquest into the death of Banbridge man Connor Cochrane, who died at the age of 21 after consuming pills containing  para-methyl-4-methylaminorex.

A toxicologist told the inquest that the only other country where the drug has been found was Hungary.

The drug is manufactured in order to resemble ecstasy tablets.

It has been known to come in the form of 'Speckled Cherries' or 'Green Rolexes' in Northern Ireland.

Those who fall victim to the chemical suffer from complete organ failure leading to death.
