An unnamed 17-year-old boy was sentenced to life for murdering Urantsetseg Tserendorj at the Central Criminal Court, reported on 20 February 2023. The sentence will be reviewed in 13 years.

Tserendorj was stabbed on a walkway between George’s Dock and Custom House Quay in Dublin’s IFSC on 20 January 2021, after the boy attempted to rob her. She died in hospital nine days later.

The judge said the boy could apply for parole after 12 years and ordered probation reports, with a final report due on 11 January 2034. He also imposed concurrent three- and two-year sentences for five other offences committed that day and for bicycle theft; all sentences were backdated to January 2021, when the boy first entered custody.
