Wrongfully convicted Randy Druken’s case led to justice reforms in Newfoundland and Labrador
ONE-TIME USE ONLY WITH STORY SLUGGE OB-DRUKEN -- Randy Druken, shown in 2002 file photo, who was wrongfully convicted in the death of Brenda Young, has died. Sources say the 57-year-old died late Tuesday, Dec. 27, at a St. John’s residence, with no foul play suspected. Druken spent close to seven years in prison after being convicted of murder, before he was exonerated by DNA evidence. His girlfriend, Brenda Young, was stabbed to death at her Empire Avenue home in 1993 and Druken's conviction was based largely on the evidence of a jailhouse informant who testified Druken had confessed to the murder. The informant later admitted fabricating the story. Druken was eventually exonerated by newly examined DNA evidence that placed his brother, Paul Druken, at the murder scene. Paul Druken died in 1999.Credit: Keith Gosse / The Telegram
