Becky Dustan's brother, Michael Riddiough-Allen, 32, was attacked with a knife outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin on 30 April 2023. Mike's Trust is a charity set up by his family to try to tackle knife crime and his sister began delivering talks in schools last year.
Now she has decided to embark on a new career to support young people in the care sector after being a primary school teacher for seven years.Chelsea Powell, 22, from Bodmin, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter, but guilty of perverting the course of justice. Tia Taylor, 22, also from Bodmin, initially denied three charges but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and perverting the course of justice.Having to watch the CCTV over and over, the amount of times I've watched my brother die during the time of that trial - it was really hard.You either hold that hatred in your heart and it eats away at you and it makes you deeply unhappy and it makes the world seem like a darker place, or you let go of that anger, you find a place of forgiveness and you try to have a little bit of positivity.
