Funeral takes place of 'fun-loving' schoolboy

The Aunt of Toyosi Shittabey, who was stabbed to death near his home in West Dublin on Good Friday, has described him as "one of the best boys around".

The 15-year-old, who was originally from Nigeria, is being laid to rest in Newcastle in Dublin this afternoon.

Hundreds of people turned out at his funeral mass earlier to say a final farewell to the teeanger who had excelled in football and athletics.

His aunt Karogi has said he was a "fun-loving and popular young boy".
