Teen’s death: ‘Evil at its most stark’

A JUDGE involved in the case of murdered teenager Daniel McAnaspie yesterday said the teenager had encountered “evil at its most stark”.

Judge Conal Gibbons made his comments in the Dublin District Court, where he ruled that he needed to refer to the High Court an application from the media to cover a separate application by Daniel’s family.

The McAnaspies want to gain access to files on Daniel’s care in the HSE from his court-appointed guardian ad litem. That separate application, brought by Daniel’s sister, Catriona, has yet to be heard.
