A teenage girl who died after taking an ecstasy pill known as “MasterCard” has been named as Faye Allen.

The 17-year-old from Liverpool died after taking the drug at the Victoria Warehouse in Trafford.

Greater Manchester Police have made two arrests as part of their investigation into the girl’s death. A 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from the St Helen’s area have been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.

Faye had been at the “Don’t Let Daddy Know” club night with her boyfriend when she took the drug.

Her boyfriend’s father, who was not named, told the Manchester Evening News that this was the first time Faye had been to a nightclub and that she had not taken the drug before: “She had never been to a rave or nightclub before. This was the first time.

"They are a couple of young lovers who have gone to a club. Faye took a pill for the first time and disaster has struck.”

“The whole family are absolutely devastated. We don’t know how we are going to look after each other,” he added.

Police have urged anyone who may have taken the “MasterCard” pills to seek medical attention. They believe the pink pills may have contained a double dose of MDMA.

Over the course of the night and in the early hours Faye appeared to have had an adverse reaction to the drug. After appearing “very unwell” she was treated outside the venue, Detective Chief Inspector Ben Ewart said.

“She appeared very disorientated and unsteady on her feet. Once she left the venue of her own accord, security were concerned for her welfare. The on-site medical staff then called an ambulance,” he said.

Two of Faye’s friends who are understood to have taken the same tablets were taken to hospital as a precaution but were later discharged.

The Liverpool Echo reported that this is the third tragedy to have hit Faye’s family. Her mother, Maxine, lost a son named Jordan to cot death when he was aged 23 months in 2004. Just one month later Maxine’s daughter Neve died from cot death aged at 18 weeks.

In a statement, Victoria Warehouse confirmed the incident took place at the venue and said it was working with investigators. It said: "The Victoria Warehouse would like to convey our deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased, and will continue to assist Greater Manchester Police with their inquiries."
