The boy, who can't be identified as he is a minor, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Ms Tserendorj but guilty to her manslaughter on January 29, 2021

Urantsetseg Tserendorj was stabbed as she made her way home from a cleaning job on January 20, 2021.

A boy who is on trial accused of murdering Mongolian woman Urantsetseg Tserendorj told gardaí: "I did it, I stabbed that girl. I robbed her, it was me."

The now 16-year-old is on trial at the Central Criminal Court where Sean Gillane SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, opened his trial on Wednesday afternoon. He told the jury they would view CCTV footage showing the stabbing that caused Ms Tserendorj's death and showing the movements of the deceased and accused before and after.
