Murder prompts warning on vigilantism

Vigilante-style attacks will not be tolerated in the wake of the murder of a young man in Dublin, Justice Minister McDowell warned today.

John Cunningham Jnr, 26, from Killtilawn Way, in Tallaght, was beaten and stabbed by a group of men in Clondalkin on Friday night, after they apparently believed he had been involved in a burglary.
