Matthew Daulby was described by his family as a “compassionate, loving and funny man” who had a “zest for life.”
Speaking after Houghton’s sentencing, Daulby’s father, Gary, said bbc news The loss of his son was “incomprehensible.”
She said: ‘The longing to see Matthew again is overwhelming. Not watching him grow up, passing his driving test, getting his first house, getting married, having kids. All of this has been taken away from Matthew and us as a family.
‘We torture ourselves daily about what happened to Matthew that fateful night.
“It is some small consolation that Henry Houghton has been in prison for a long time. They have also sentenced us to life imprisonment.
