Teenager found guilty of burning car erupts in court

A teenage boy has been remanded in custody after he was found guilty of burning out a car in Dublin.

The boy, aged 15, began cursing at his mother, furiously punched a table several times and had to be repeatedly warned about his behaviour during his trial yesterday.

Judge John O’Connor found him guilty at the Dublin Children’s Court of arson of a car near his north Dublin home on a date in April last year.
