Victim’s father: My world came crashing down again

Dean Fitzpatrick’s father has described how his “world came crashing down” after hearing that his son had been “brutally killed” by David Mahon.

Christopher Fitzpatrick’s victim impact statement was one of three read to the court yesterday during Mahon’s sentencing hearing.

The Dubliner was found guilty earlier this month of killing his partner’s son, the older brother of missing teenager Amy Fitzpatrick. Mahon has said he will not appeal his manslaughter verdict.
