Brazilian man facing trial for attempted murder over Stoneybatter attacks

Summary

A Brazilian national, Gabrial Fereira Motta Valladares, is facing trial on three counts of attempted murder after allegedly slashing three men in Dublin's Stoneybatter area on February 9, 2025. The accused is also charged with assault causing harm to the same men, as well as possession of a black scissors and a Tactix box-cutter knife. The trial, which is expected to last three weeks, is scheduled to begin on November 9, 2026. The case was listed for case management on July 3, 2026. Gardaí, including unarmed officers and detectives supported by Armed Support Units, responded to the incident, and the accused was initially intercepted and detained by an unarmed plainclothes garda. The charges stem from the alleged slashing-type neck wounds sustained by the victims during the attack.
