An unnamed 16-year-old boy was found guilty of murdering Urantsetseg Tserendorj at the Central Criminal Court on 11 November 2022.

The jury returned a 10-1 majority verdict after four days of deliberations. The boy, who was 14 at the time, had denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter; the State did not accept that plea.

Tserendorj was stabbed as she walked home from work in Dublin city centre on 20 January 2021. The verdict followed a retrial after an earlier jury could not reach a decision.

The judge remanded the teenager in custody to 9 December, with sentencing listed for 21 December.
