Josh Dunne’s mother has told of her relief that her tragic son’s name has been cleared after a bike thief was jailed yesterday.
Diane Dunne was speaking after a two-year sentence was handed down to Gavin Dooner, who stole a delivery cyclist’s bicycle – the theft that led to the incident where Josh was killed. Talented footballer Josh, from Ballymun, North Dublin, died when he was knifed twice in the chest at East Wall Road in the inner city on January 26, 2021.
George Gonzaga Bento admitted to stabbing Josh but walked free last summer when he was acquitted of the murder charge.
