Tragic news emerged yesterday afternoon from Tallaght in Dublin when 17-yr-old Reece Cullen was stabbed at around 3.30 pm in Kilclare Crescent in Jobstown.
Reece was brought immediately to Tallaght Hospital but despite desperate attempts to save him, he was pronounced dead a short time later. Shockingly, Reece’s death is the third stabbing in Dublin so far in 2017.
