This is truly shocking. Lost for words. Unprovoked attack.
Fucking hell. That’s utterly horrendous. Has the victim been named?
Fucking scumbags. Headline should read “Two teenagers kill man”. “boys charged over assault of Dublin man who later died” is a soft touch.
Why the fuck were they charged with assault causing serious harm?! They chose to assault him(ie it wasnt accidental) and landed up killing him. Thats called murder and thats what they should be charged with
Both charged with assault and robbery, surely there will be a murder/manslaughter charger to come?
Unprovoked and wasn’t a one punch fall type event (not that I’m excusing that). Therefore is assault where the victim does not murder regardless of age 🤷♂️. No doubt tough childhood, trying to do better out of the solicitor and far too lenient sentence on the way
It really was shocking and despicable. One even filmed the murder and the poor man on his knees begging for his life.
It takes a level of evil to do that at 16. You are not an adult, but you have a sense of right and wrong and how precious your own life is and by extention, everyone else’s.
Teenagers are completely unhinged these days absolutely no fear of consequences. Was stopped at the lights near Cherrywood last night and saw two feral little spitting on an Indian lad who was just minding his own business.
‘Boys’… are you fucking kidding me?
Irish parenting makes the news again
Judge Nolan has already signed the suspended sentence papers.
This appears to be somewhat downplayed, considering the comments regarding the citizenship status of both teenagers.
It’s always the ones you most expect
Happy to see bail denied.
Horrendous event and the poor guy didn’t have a chance.
This country is not safe
What is the story here? This is madness.
That’s brutal… In the middle of the day on a Sunday afternoon too? Basically just off Blanch village too.
There’s just no way it’s good for society people like this to be allowed out again even if they are 16. Beaten to death and recorded? Is just so fucking cruel.
Wonder will there be protests outside the dail and national/international condemnation of this attack?
the irish judicial system is so fucking idiotic
I hope this man and his family get justice. People like those two young fellas should hurt now
>The court heard there was an arranged meeting between the deceased man and the two accused boys at around 4.15pm on Sunday afternoon.
What was this meeting about?
I know what I’d do to them, and their fucking parents.
They’ve nothing to worry about. Boys can rape girls multiple times and not get any prison time, so these boys will probably get a 2 week sentence. No need to fear the Irish justice system!
