Randy Druken, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his girlfriend 30 years ago, has died.

Druken, who was 57, died shortly before midnight Tuesday in a centre city home.

Police are investigating but sources say no foul play is suspected.

In 2005, Druken was awarded $2 million in compensation for the nearly seven years he spent in prison for the stabbing death of Brenda Marie Young in her home on Empire Avenue in 1993.

But he was eventually exonerated after DNA proved he wasn’t at the scene, but his brother, Paul, was.

A short time later, in 1999, Paul Druken was found dead of a drug overdose.

That same year, younger brother Jody Druken was acquitted in the shooting death of his older brother, Derek, only to be found guilty of manslaughter after a new trial was ordered.

That shooting happened in 1996 outside the former Theatre Pharmacy in downtown St. John’s.

Randy Druken was one of three men, including Greg Parsons and Ronald Dalton, who were the focus of the Lamer Inquiry into wrongful convictions in the province.

It concluded police were consumed with so-called “tunnel vision” in their dogged pursuit of one suspect.

The funeral for Randy Druken is expected to take place next week.
