HUNDREDS of mourners from all over the country are expected to say their final farewells to a wellknown Black Country entrepeneur and charity fundraiser.
Barry de Lacy, aged 62, who used to be involved in casinos in Dudley and West Bromwich, suffered multiple stab wounds in a frenzied knife attack on February 3 at his luxury apartment in Leeds.
Dean Frank Wood, 27, of Langley Moor, Co Durham, has appeared in court charged with Mr de Lacy's murder and will stand trial from July 10.
Coachloads of Mr de Lacy's friends, from the south and north of the country, are expected to attend his funeral in Dudley tomorrow.
