• Man convicted of attempted murder of three children at Parnell Square Attempted murder · Co. Dublin

  On 23 November 2023, a man attacked a group of schoolchildren outside Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire on Parnell Square East, Dublin, with a 36cm kitchen knife, stabbing a five-year-old girl in the heart, a six-year-old girl, a five-year-old boy, and crèche worker Leanne Flynn, 38. Riad Bouchaker, a 52-year-old Algerian man of no fixed abode, was arrested on 20 December 2023 and charged with three counts of attempted murder, assault causing serious harm, three counts of assault causing harm, and producing a knife. A jury at the Central Criminal Court found Bouchaker guilty on all eight charges on 1 July 2026 after a three-week trial. Sentencing was adjourned to 16 November 2026, and Bouchaker was taken to intensive care in a Dublin hospital on 16 October 2026 after collapsing in Cloverhill remand prison.
