In November 2020, Danilo De Silva, a 43-year-old man, attacked a sex worker with a professional kitchen knife at her home in Clondalkin, Dublin, after they had consensual sex. He struck the knife at her head and throat while shouting for money, and she sustained a large cut to her hand from shielding the blows. De Silva fled the scene but was later arrested and pleaded guilty to assault causing harm in June 2021. He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in May 2022. He was found dead in his cell at Mountjoy Prison on 6 March 2024, and an investigation has been launched by the Irish Prison Service, Inspector of Prisons and gardaí.
