Teenager loses appeal against conviction for murder of Urantsetseg Tserendorj

The appellant, who was just 14 years old at the time of the offence, will continue to serve his life sentence

Urantsetseg Tserendorj (pictured) was stabbed in the neck on a walkway between George’s Dock and Custom House Quay at the IFSC, Dublin on January 20, 2021, after the teenager, who was 14 at the time, attempted to rob her as she walked home after work.

The teenager who murdered mother of two Urantsetseg Tserendorj as she walked home from work is to remain serving his life sentence after his conviction was upheld on Thursday by the Court of Appeal.

Delivering the ruling on behalf of the three-judge court, Ms Justice Tara Burns said that none of the appellant’s grounds of appeal could be upheld.
