Second youth pleads guilty to taking part in brutal attack after gang 'took the law into their own hands'

A second youth has pleaded guilty to taking part in a vicious gang attack on a man after a group of youths "took the law into their own hands" because he allegedly stole a greeting card from a shop.

Dublin Children’s Court heard that Christopher Palmer, 20, was found dead five days after he was repeatedly punched, stamped and kicked in the head on November 11 last year.
