Alex Coughlan, a man aged 37, was assaulted on Mill Road in Blanchardstown, Dublin, at around 4.20pm on 17 May 2026 after being contacted through the Grindr dating app, and was pronounced dead in Connolly Hospital on 20 May. Two teenage boys, aged 17 and 16, were arrested on 19 May and charged with assault causing serious harm and robbing Coughlan of his bank cards and a gold ring. The 17-year-old's charge was later upgraded to murder, and the DPP directed trial in the Central Criminal Court. On 21 September 2026, both youths were sent forward for trial on murder and robbery charges and remain in custody at the Oberstown Children Detention Campus.
