Doherty sentenced for drugs offence

Pete Doherty is due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine.

The 32-year-old was arrested by police investigating the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead, 27, on January 24 last year.

Film-maker Miss Whitehead spent the last 10 days of her life creating a documentary about the controversial singer.

He is due to play Glasgow Barrowland tonight (Friday) but was warned he could face another jail sentence when he pleaded guilty last month.

Doherty, of Marlborough, Wiltshire, said last year he was "shocked and saddened" by the death of Miss Whitehead, the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine.

Her mother, Dido Whitehead, is a cousin of Jemima Khan and Zac Goldsmith and her father is film-maker Peter Whitehead.

Doherty is on bail and is due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court, east London, from 10.30am.

He will be sentenced alongside his friend Peter Wolfe, 42, of Heath Road, Maidstone, Kent, who previously pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of cocaine and one count of supplying cocaine to Miss Whitehead, who died at his east London flat.
