A petrol bomb attack on a house in Edenderry, Co Offaly killed 4 year-old Tadgh Farrell and his grand aunt Mary Holt. Gardaí believe it was a gangland retaliation, possibly ordered from inside prison after a dispute. A 14-year-old has emerged as a suspect and Gardaí say he was closely involved. Two men in their early 20s, linked to organised crime, are also being investigated. CCTV shows two people throwing the bomb and running off. The investigation is ongoing.
*The most shocking part is the age of the suspect. A 14 year old being involved in something this vicious is beyond disturbing and shows how criminal gangs are dragging kids into serious violence. If that’s proven, it’s hard to see how society can treat it as anything other than an extremely serious, life altering crime.*

Every single person who was, at any point in time, complicit in involving that 14 year old in gangland activity, should be in the dock for murder. I don’t care if it was having him run messages or keep watch while they sold drugs – it all led to this day and they are all responsible for these deaths.
Use this as an opportunity to draw a line in the sand that shows these depraved scumbags that children are off limits.

As someone who works in the criminal courts, and came across 4 arsons in a single work week recently, this is sadly becoming very common as is the use of very young children to do the act.

A 14 year old killed a 4 year old because 2 men got into a scrap in prison. This is really messed up!
