Murdered teenager's family appeal for help

THE family of murdered teen Alan Higgins yesterday appealed for help in tracking down his killers.

The call came as detectives began a hunt for a gang of youths who they believe may have been involved in the fatal stabbing in Coolock, North Dublin, last Saturday.

Alan’s heartbroken uncle John Kelly said the people who did this had to be found: “Justice at the end of the day needs to be done. The most important thing is that this doesn’t happen again. We as people have to stand up to be counted. A good guy was taken away from us. We need to make sure we stamp out these individuals.”
