Suspects caught on cameras installed after double murder

THE suspects for the murder of teenager David Byrne were identified by CCTV cameras that were installed following the double murder of two Polish men in the same area three years ago, the Irish Examiner has learned.

Seven teenagers — aged 13 and 17 — were arrested on Wednesday, four of whom are believed to have been involved in the fatal stabbing of Mr Byrne in Inchicore, south Dublin, on Saturday night.

Mr Byrne, from Davitt House flats in neighbouring Drimnagh, was chased by four hooded youths over a footbridge beside the flats complex connecting Drimnagh to Inchicore and inflicted with four “severe” stab wounds to his back and kidney area.
