A previous hearing was told at the time of the murder Ireland was on bail for affray and had 17 previous convictions for 31 offences between 2017 and 2019.

These included an incident where he grabbed a knife during a family argument and an occasion where the threatened a driver with a blade after he was challenged about drinking alcohol on the bus. At the time of the murder, Ireland was on bail for affray.

The teenage attacker can be pictured and named today as he turns 18.   

Ireland pleaded guilty to murder, theft and possession of an offensive weapon via video link from HMP Wetherby last month.

At the hearing, prosecutor Kevin Wardlaw said Mr Duncan and his killer came into contact with each other by chance at the entrance to the shopping centre, when they were walking in opposite directions.

Ireland had stolen the screwdrivers and was looking for another youth with whom he had previously argued about cigarettes.

Mr Wardlaw said: 'The deceased raised his arm to let the defendant get past.




 
'It is captured on CCTV footage. The defendant took exception to that, took hold of the deceased and a struggle ensued.'

Mr Duncan managed to push the teenager off, at which point the youth stabbed him once in the heart.

He managed to walk a short distance away before he collapsed to the floor.

No place in society for people of his ilk. Too costly to the country in jail

if i left a bus  to go from the yard unsafe and it caused a death id be jailed/ fined/ sued the lot, its about time some of these judges got done for their sentencing  , this bastard was unsafe to be on the streets , held and threatened a driver with a blade, why wasnt he jailed for 5 years

Ewan Ireland - no prizes for guessing where his grandparents originate from. Seems a familiar pattern.

The person directly to blame for this murder is the judge who failed to lock Ireland up last time he was in the dock, or the dozen times before that.
Report DenzilPenberthy October 6, 2019 1:49 PM BST
The whole system is deliberately geared to allow these types to stay out of jail and every allowance and proviso is made to justify it.
Have mentioned on here a handful of times about a family member who's been arrested 100s of times in fact they stopped arresting him and all they do is remove him from the situation like a taxi sevice.

'These included an incident where he grabbed a knife during a family argument'

This is the norm for such types and has happened a few times usually against his mother who's ill but he does it to steal her money,these are usually waster drug addicts doing everything they can not to work and get their lives paid for.
The system has decided that it's cheaper on the whole to pay for these people's lives and try to keep them sweet out of jail,than to keep them in jail where they aren't a danger to everyone else and given some sort of actual punishment for their crimes.

Yes that is what they do,my relative and his scummy pals are all on benefits for their 'psychotic' issues which includes having their whole lives including fully furnished flat and utilities barring a few quid per week paid for.
I've put a few of his tales on here which he openly told me himself as he used to come to my house to hide from certain people who he owed money to or had stolen from etc.

Agreed and would go as far as any offensive weapon that's just carried

Report SlippyBlue October 6, 2019 4:42 PM BST
I totally agree with elisjohn as well, anyone caught in possession of a knife should get a mandatory 5 year custodial, it's intent. A repeat offender then I would throw away the key.

The Barristers as well as the judges are to blame, they want these kids to keep getting let off so they can defend them again and again, all paid for by legal aid, if they were all locked up, they wouldn't earn as much, they don't give a fuu ck about victims.

im not sure but i think it is 5 years with a gun, its about time that knife should be classed exactly the same
Report impossible123 October 6, 2019 5:38 PM BST
I do not know why people carry a knife esp young kids - in other countries they do not. Personally, I'd introduce corporal punishment eg flogging if caught carrying a knife on more than one occasion. But, the concerned and related entities would bleat like little kids all the way to the House of Commons similar to those subject to stop-and-search.

In the interest of safety for every one this is one inconvenience worth paying, I firmly believe.

Perhaps the judge that granted him bail to let him loose on the streets should be named and shamed or even struck off for failing to protect the public ? After all these people can over rule Governments no so have to become accountable.

Some consider a kudo going to prison - a graduation even. For the hardcore make the time at HMP(pleasure) a tough one not a walk-in-the-park (it's) eg no mortgage/rent to pay/on-hand catering/laundry, etc; start by taking away the bed/mattress; 50 to a hall (not individual room); chained 24/7.

Can't imagine it being worse or better than any other as there's plenty who work/go out there spending alot of time and money,many years ago I worked in the building at the end of the Tyne bridge but if it was now and I needed a job I wouldn't think of applying to work anywhere near the city centre.

True you don't hear of crimes like robbing old people or vulnerable types at night and the likes away from the city centre.
The last few years I've gone out and about at night and don't think twice about it round the doors or down to the river up and down the tracks in the black dark,it's possible that some of the drug issues are keeping the lunatics off the streets at these times they're all off their t!ts inside.
Lately have been hearing about knife crime and the likes slipping into the Newcastle street areas and used to regualarly see gangs of mid teen kids hanging about in the Westerhope area around Morrisons car park with the neck scarfs over their faces like the bruvvaz,hopefully the epidemic doesn't go full tilt up here Scared
