Share this article The mother of a 21-year-old man who was killed in a knife attack says she and her family have been sentenced to life without him. Jenny O'Reilly lost her son Lorcan following the attack on Halloween night in 2015. She told Lunchtime Live he was out with friends when an altercation happened. "The bonfire was finished, he went back to where they live at the flats socialising. "And a guy came along and an altercation started with two fells and my son went to stop the actual fight, and my son in the meantime got stabbed." She said her son had big plans for his future career.
