Life sentence for 19-year-old who lured teenager into a ‘fatal trap’

A teenager has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering another teenager, after luring him into a ‘fatal trap’ two years ago.

Marcus Kirwan had pretended to be a girl when he sent text messages to David Byrne suggesting they meet on the night of Mar 19, 2011.

When the 19-year-old arrived at a youth centre, he was set upon by Kirwan and a number of other youths who chased him into a dead end at a Dublin apartment complex.
