Mother’s ‘unimaginable pain’ after son’s murder.
The mother of a drug “runner” who was stabbed to death expressed “unimaginable pain” following his death.
Dean Fountaine, 37, of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, died after being attacked in Ashton Road, Luton, in June 2023.
Following a trial at Luton Crown Court on Friday, Peter Janoski, 44, and Dylan Myrie, 21, were found guilty of murder and manslaughter respectively.
Mr Fountaine’s mother released a tribute to her son through the police, expressing relief that “justice has been served.”
“After nine long weeks, the men responsible for killing our beloved son and big brother to Ashley, Benjamin and Daniel, have been found guilty of their actions,” she told the press.
“While we are relieved that justice has been served, it has no bearing on the unimaginable pain we feel having lost our kind and gentle Dean in such a senseless and brutal way.”
Mr. Fountaine’s mother expressed her “heartfelt thanks” to the police and others involved in the case.
