Calls for Tusla to publish report into care offered to teen before his death

Pressure is growing on the Child and Family Agency to publish a report into the care offered to Daniel McAnaspie, after one man was found guilty of his murder and another pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Daniel, then aged 17 and in the care of the HSE at the time of his death, was killed in February 2010. His body was discovered months later in a ditch in Rathfeigh in Co Meath. He had been stabbed multiple times with a garden shears. He had been socialising with others in west Dublin the night he was killed.

On Tuesday, Richard Dekker, a 30-year-old from Blanchardstown, was found guilty by unanimous verdict of his murder, while another man, Trevor Noone, 28, had earlier pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
