A PETTY criminal who died two days after being fatally stabbed and beaten in what may have been a vigilante-style attack was the father of two young boys and his widow is pregnant with their third child.

A gang chased John Cunningham after they spotted him attempting to break in to premises in Clondalkin, west Dublin.

The victim, aged 28, was a member of the settled Travelling community.
