The family of the 18-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in Dublin last Friday has said it is “resting our faith in the Irish justice system” to hold the person or people responsible for the killing to account. “An Garda Síochána are leading in the investigation to uncover the truth behind our son Azzam Raguragui’s murder,” the statement said. “We are resting our faith in the Irish justice system to hold the perpetrator(s) to account,” it said. MotiveGardaí do not suspect a racial motive is behind the killing of Azzam, who was an Irish citizen and member of the Muslim faith from a family of North African origin. Garda sources said groups of teenagers were present when the fatal attack occurred and that the ethnicity of both groups was mixed.
