A “devoted dad” and a “cheeky boy,” who both died in a triple stabbing, have received tributes. In Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, Patrick Howard and Adam Fanelli died from stab wounds. Following early Sunday morning reports of a hit-and-run, police and paramedics rushed to the site.
Two of the guys were declared dead at the scene, while one other was brought to the hospital with critical wounds.
In a tribute, Adam’s family said: “Words could never explain the impact this tragedy has had, and will forever hold, over our family and this community.
“Our thoughts and prayers of strength are with the other families involved.
“Adam was undoubtedly a loving and devoted dad to his three wonderful children. For someone small in stature he had an extremely larger-than-life character and a heart bigger than a house.
“He was a person that emulated ‘once met never forgotten’ in every way possible. He’s going to be missed eternally, leaving a void that could never be filled.
“The family would like to thank everyone for their messages of support and beautiful tributes to both Adam and Pat.”
Also paying tribute, Patrick’s family said: “Patrick was the most lovable, cheeky chap you could meet.
“He would have done anything for anybody and had the biggest heart of gold.
“He was the heart and soul of the community, with not a person who didn’t love him.
“Patrick will be missed immensely and has left such a hole in too many hearts. If love could have saved Patrick, he would have lived forever.
“Adam’s family will forever be in our hearts and prayers.”
