Dublin Man Convicted of Attempted Murder of Three Children in City Centre Attack
A jury at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin has convicted Riad Bouchaker of attempting to murder three children. The incident occurred in the city centre on 23 November 2023. Bouchaker was also found guilty of four counts of assault relating to other individuals present during the attack.
The court heard detailed evidence over several weeks regarding the events of that afternoon. Bouchaker had denied all charges, including the attempted murder of the three young victims and the assaults. The convictions follow extensive testimony and presentation of evidence by the prosecution.
Sentencing in the case has been adjourned. The court will consider victim impact statements and further submissions before determining the appropriate penalties for the serious offences committed by Bouchaker.
