A father "consumed by grief" killed the man he blamed for causing his son's drugs overdose death before taking his own life, an inquest has heard.
Roy Allison, 65, stabbed to death 34-year-old Duncan Bell three months after the sudden death of his martial arts fighter son, Roy Jnr.
Three separate inquests at Peterborough Coroner's Court heard how Roy Jnr, with his friends Mr Bell and Grant Maker, had been celebrating his 28th birthday at the home he shared with his father in Hetley, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough.
The trio consumed a mixture of MDMA, a pure form of ecstasy; cocaine; beer, and spirits during the course of the evening.
It was the next day, March 21 last year, that Roy Jnr was discovered lying alone and lifeless in his bedroom, while Mr Bell and Mr Maker suffered no ill effects.
The inquest heard a post-mortem examination found he had died from an ecstasy overdose.
