Youth lost finger climbing fence - gardaí

    Interesting development, particularly since he was reputed to have a future as a pianist.

    It is now thought the teenager who lost his finger on St Patrick's Day in Dublin severed his finger after climbing a sharp fence.

    Gardaí analysed CCTV footage which shows 17-year-old Guy Wallace from Plymouth in England running towards the fence in a street off O'Connell Street, climbing it and then falling off.

    When officers searched the area, they found the finger.

    This effectively discredits the account given by the teenager to Irish media and later to gardaí.

    The teenager had said he had been attacked by up to five people who had kicked him on the ground and removed his finger from his hand.

    He had not told gardaí this when he was first questioned.

    It is now believed that the youth was involved in an altercation in a fast food restaurant on O'Connell Street, before running towards the Cumberland Street North and Britain Place area.

    The youth has subsequently returned to England.
