But why leave him to die on the street? Why dispose of the knife down a drain?

How is she still standing by him, he killed her son

Audrey Fitzpatrick was reunited with her partner Dave Mahon last night — for the first time since he was arrested as part of the probe into her son Dean’s killing.
And the devastated mum of missing Irish teenager Amy Fitzpatrick (15) insisted she believed Mr Mahon’s claim that Dean died accidentally.
“I know he would not have done it on purpose,” Audrey told The Star.
Sources also said the couple had an emotional reunion in the flat where Dean was stabbed.
“They are in the same room and they are communicating,” a source told The Star last night.
“It is all very emotional.
“But he cannot get through this without her and she cannot get through this without him.
“They have an unbreakable bond.”
It’s understood the couple embraced and spent much of the day together in the apartment where father-of-one Dean (23) was stabbed to death on Saturday evening.
Mr Mahon (42) left the apartment, in Northern Cross near Dublin Airport, for several hours to speak to his solicitor but came back in the afternoon.
Audrey, who recently turned 45, was inside all day and sources confirmed the couple were together in the same room.
Speaking a day after Mr Mahon was released from Garda custody without charge following the fatal stabbing of Dean, a devastated Audrey said she had still not seen her son’s body.
Audrey also said she still didn’t know what happened on that fateful night — and all she wants to do now is to see her son and to make preparations for his funeral.
“I am not being told anything. I am totally in the dark,” she said.
“All I want to do is to see Dean.
“I am still waiting on a phone call to go and see him.”
Mr Mahon, who presented himself to Coolock Garda Station on Sunday morning, was arrested and detained for 24 hours — but walked free on Monday afternoon.
He was staying at his father Mick’s house in nearby Santry — but went back to the apartment in the Burnell Square complex yesterday morning.
He declined to comment when approached by journalists yesterday afternoon.
Sources say gardai are now preparing a file for the DPP — who will decide on whether charges should be laid.
That could mean a wait of anything from a few days to six months.
The couple’s meeting came just a day after Mr Mahon opened his heart to The Star over what he insisted was a horrible accident.
Mr Mahon left the scene after the incident and says he went to his father’s house in Santry, unaware that Dean was fatally injured.
He said he only realised Dean was dead when his father woke him the next morning to break the news.
“I feel so sorry about what happened,” a clearly distraught Mr Mahon told The Star.
“It was a complete accident.
“I am not a murderer.
“I only found out the next morning when my dad told me when I woke up.
“I love Audrey so much and need to tell her how sorry I am.
“I will have to live with this forever. Audrey is my main concern now.”
Mr Mahon and Audrey have led a five-year campaign to highlight the disappearance of Amy, who was aged just 15 when she vanished on Spain’s Costa del Sol in January 2008.
The pair have been living in the Burnell Square complex since they returned to Ireland from Spain in January last year.
Audrey was caring for her aged father Joe at his home in nearby Artane when Dean, who was living in Lusk, north Dublin, arrived at the apartment complex on his bike.
Sources say Dean received a single stab wound in the abdomen after an altercation in the property.
He is then believed to have fled, fatally wounded, and collapsed on the ground outside the complex at around 11.30pm.
Dean’s father Christopher has laid rosary beads at the spot where his son fell.
