Summary
A mother broke down in court this week describing her five-year-old son’s horrific injuries from a November 2023 attack near his school on Parnell Square — wounds treated with steri-stitches at Crumlin Children’s Hospital. The trial centers on Riad Bouchaker, facing eight charges including attempted murder of three children and assault on others, including a care worker. Prosecutors argue his knife attacks on kids show clear intent to kill, while defense notes he suffered a head injury that day and had prior brain surgery. The jury, made up of nine men and three women, continues hearing evidence as Bouchaker, who denies all charges, remains fit to plead — with no mental health defenses available.
