Terry Barber, 46, of Colonie, lost her 39-year-old brother, Bryan Ruede, 10 years ago this August, when he was stabbed numerous times during a robbery attempt at his home in Fort Wayne, Ind.

“He slashed my brother’s throat from ear to ear and stabbed him all over his body, said Barber. “All I could think of is what my brother must have gone through.”

The 19-year-old murderer apologized to Barber’s mother during his trial. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison. Ruede said the family was satisfied with the outcome.

“I have two kids, 15 and 16 years old, and they’ve been through hell,” said Ruede. “They were very young when it happened, but they remember it very vividly. My son won’t go upstairs by himself, and he makes sure the alarm on our house is always set.”
