Teen (18) to be extradited on London gang murder charge
Summary
The High Court in Dublin has ordered the extradition of 18‑year‑old David Kerrigan to the United Kingdom. Kerrigan is wanted in the UK for the murder of Joshua White, 29, who was stabbed to death on Frampton Park Road, Hackney, on 26 April. White died from a stab wound to the heart after being attacked by men with knives, including "zombie" knives, in an incident described as gang‑related. Kerrigan is also wanted for an attempted murder of another man in Hackney shortly after White's attack. Two other teenagers have been arrested and charged in connection with the attacks. Kerrigan's lawyers objected, citing a risk of "inter‑prisoner violence" in UK prisons, but the court rejected this argument and ordered his surrender. The court noted that the reports of violence were not systemic and did not show Kerrigan would face a greater risk than other inmates.
