A DRUG dealer has been butchered in revenge for the death of a teenage girl he supplied with ecstacy.
Police believe Daniel McGinty was hunted down by friends of overdose victim Carla Deary, 18.
Three men stormed his girlfriend’s house, set off CS gas and then hacked him to death.
McGinty, 24, had been released from jail after serving 18 months for supplying the teenager with class A drugs. A coroner said Carla died after “unknowingly” taking ecstacy at a drug-fuelled party thrown by McGinty in September 2006.
Upon McGinty’s release from jail this year, friends of the teenager vowed to get even.
A gang armed with knives and axes burst into his girlfriend’s home in Croydon, south London, on Tuesday.
McGinty was found in a pool of blood by his brother at his home nearby and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A neighbour said: “I heard a few long and loud screams and a lot of shouting, and then a lot of noise as people ran away.
“Those screams will stay with me for a long time.”
Detectives investigating McGinty’s murder have confirmed they are “looking at a number of lines of inquiry”.
A source told us: “He knew he had to watch his back as people had sworn revenge on him.”
