A teenager who pleaded guilty to murdering his friend who had called him a "rat" has been sentenced to detention for life with a review after 10 years.
The 17-year-old, who can't be named because he is a minor, pleaded guilty in August to the murder of Glen 'Ossie' Osborne (20) at Ballybough House, Ballybough, Dublin on April 15 this year.
Mr Osborne's partner Lauren Cray gave birth to their first child two months after his death.
The convicted boy will remain at Oberstown Detention Centre until his 18th birthday when he will be transferred to an adult prison.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott at the Central Criminal Court today ordered reports to be drawn up by relevant health professionals on the boy's 18th birthday and every two years following his transfer to adult prison.
