The heartbroken father of a young Croatian man who was beaten to death in Dublin has told how his son clung to life for four days before succumbing to the fatal brain injuries he sustained during the attack.

Construction manager Josip Štrok (31) and his close friend David Druzinac (28) were set up by a gang of four thugs who inflicted a savage attack on the pair in the Grange View Way area in Clondalkin shortly after 10pm on Saturday last week.
