Murder of Stephen Lynch on the 13/4/17

Gardaí at Tallaght Garda Station are investigating the murder of father-of-three Stephen Lynch that occurred in Brookview Close, Tallaght on Thursday 13th April 2017.

Stephen had driven to Brookview Close with three friends. There was a Ford Focus that was driving erratically around the close. Stephen approached the car and spoke to the people inside. He appears to have asked the driver to slowdown as there were children in the area.

At this point the Ford Focus reversed and then drove over Stephen who hadn’t moved and was still directly in front of the car. Stephen became trapped under the car and the three individuals that were in the car got out and ran away.

A group of people who saw the incident managed to lift the car off Stephen and attended to him while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

A man in a red bubble jacket was seen to return to the scene in order to retrieve a mobile phone from the car. On returning to the scene this man was subsequently chased by friends of Stephen but was not apprehended.
