'To know your child died like that is something you can’t ever erase from your mind'

The family of a Nottinghamshire man who was killed while travelling in Europe say that they still feel "exactly the same now" as the minute they heard he had died. Danny Castledine from Mansfield was stabbed to death in Amsterdam on June 1, 2022 while travelling through Europe on his way to a Belgian music festival.

"That will never ever leave me – just thinking what his last minutes were like. The impact is immeasurable and you just cannot put into words what it’s like. Your happiest times turn into your worst times. You dread birthdays, Christmases, holidays, as they’re all too painful, and the longer it goes on, it gets harder because you realise you’re never going to see him again.”

But the man ended up stabbing Danny 44 times and leaving him for dead on the basement stairs of a nearby property. The killer was said to be have a disorder in the misuse of certain drugs, notably Oxycodone, benzodiazepines and cannabis, according to experts. Alison said: “You go straight into autopilot, but I remember every second of it clearly. I remember falling to the floor and saying, ‘no, Danny, it can’t be Danny’, and looking at Chloe, who was saying ‘no, he’s my best friend, I can’t cope without him’.”
