UCC student ‘beaten to pulp’ and left for dead in US alley

Detectives hope to speak soon to an Irish J1 student who was beaten and left for dead in a San Diego alley.

Hopes were expressed last night that Evan White’s condition will improve enough for him to be interviewed by police in the next 48 hours.

His parents, who flew to the US at the weekend, are maintaining a vigil at Scripps Memorial Hospital where he has been in an induced coma since the attack.
