Version 0 of 1.

The trial of two women accused of allowing three teenage girls - one who later died - to drink unsupervised has been abandoned for the time being.

It followed the resignation of defence advocate David Moggach - representing one of the accused Amanda Williamson - for legal reasons.

Ms Williamson, 36, and Christine Stewart, 49, deny charges after Naomi Thomson, 14, died in Fraserburgh.

The trial is expected to re-start with a new jury before the end of April.

The trial was in its fourth day at Peterhead Sheriff Court.

Naomi died at a house in Marconi Terrace in November 2006.
