Student critical after stabbing

A YOUNG French student, fighting for her life after being repeatedly stabbed in the neck and throat, is believed to have been followed into a Dublin city centre apartment block by her attacker.

The 22-year-old business student, who arrived in Ireland last September, suffered knife wounds to her neck and throat during what gardaí described as a “very vicious attack”.

Her attacker, a 25-year-old male, was waiting outside the apartment block for approximately half an hour before the young woman arrived home.
