Summary
A Dublin jury watches chilling footage of Riad Bouchaker, a 52-year-old man with no fixed address, during his interview after a November 2023 attack on Parnell Square East that left multiple children and an adult injured — one girl now wheelchair-bound and non-verbal. Facing eight charges including attempted murder of two girls and a boy, serious assault on an adult, and possession of a 36cm kitchen knife, Bouchaker pleaded not guilty. During his December 2023 gardaí interview, he reportedly told officers, “Do not say anything, do not hear anything, do what they tell you to do,” and admitted to losing concentration. The trial, featuring testimony from medical staff and emergency responders, is expected to last weeks and resumes Monday afternoon.
