THE FAMILIES of three teenagers badly injured in an acid attack in Waterford last year have been informed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) that two of the culprits will only be dealt with by way of juvenile caution. Culprits of acid attack on Waterford teens will only get juvenile cautions, DPP informs victimsRelatives of those targeted in the vicious attack had hoped the DPP would consider reviewing a decision not to take criminal prosecutions against those involved in an attack slated at the time by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for its barbarity. One of the injured teens, talented sportsman Tega Agberhiere (17), suffered horrific burns to his face and back. His family admitted they were appalled that there will be no criminal prosecutions resulting from the acid attack. Families of two of the injured teens, Tega Agberhiere and Padraig O'Sullivan (19), said all they want is justice for what happened.
