Vadym Davydenko, a 17-year-old Ukrainian man who had arrived in Ireland from Kyiv days earlier, was fatally stabbed at a Tusla emergency residential unit in Grattan Wood, Donaghmede, north Dublin, on 15 October 2025. A Somali man, aged 17 according to his charge but whose age is disputed, was arrested at the scene and charged with murder on 18 October. He was remanded in custody at Oberstown Children Detention Campus and sent forward for trial at the Central Criminal Court in February 2026. An age inquiry at Dublin District Court in May 2026 heard that the accused had provided at least three different dates of birth to authorities in Italy, the UK and Ireland, with Gardaí believing he is 19 or 20.
