Man gets five years for serious knife assault
A young Dublin man who left a knife embedded in another youth’s back has received a five year sentence with one suspended.
Derek Devoy (aged 21) later told gardaí he thought a group of youths with whom he’d been fighting at an earlier Hallowe’en bonfire were attacking his father so he ran into his kitchen, got a knife and stabbed Mr Christopher Reid (aged 26) in the back.
