Boy pleads guilty to fatal stabbing
A teenager fatally stabbed a 21-year-old at a Halloween bonfire after yelling at him: “You don’t know who my dad is,” a court was told yesterday.
The 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified due to his age, had originally been charged with Lorcan O’Reilly’s murder and a trial date had been set. However, at an arraignment hearing at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, the accused pleaded not guilty to murder and guilty to Mr O’Reilly’s manslaughter at the Oliver Bond flats in Dublin early on November 1, 2015. His plea was accepted by the prosecution.
