THE TWO WOMEN that were detained in connection with the fatal stabbing of Reece Cullen have been released from custody.
The 17-year-old died after being stabbed at a house in Tallaght on 5 January this year.
Reece Cullen was attacked in the Kilclare Crescent area of Jobstown at around 3.30pm. He was brought to Tallaght Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
This morning after 7am, gardaí in Tallaght arrested two women in their 30s in connection with the fatal stabbing.
However, they were both released without charge this afternoon.
Gardaí say a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
With reporting by Hayley Halpin.

Why are comments opened on this and never on the Anglo stories or even cases happening in the US. Makes no sense.
@B9xiRspG: no one is charged
@B9xiRspG: it’s not before the courts
@Michael Geraghty: It’s a suitably broad section to cover any number of offences. Pathetic trolling attempt.
@Matt Connolly: sorry – meant for Phil below.
@B9xiRspG: Seriously Jim, why don’t you read up and the court system in Ireland and stop trying to derail every single comment section. It’s juvenile.
Where is Veronica to tell us men are the only ones attacking people
@Kal Ipers: Ah don’t do that. It’s really tacky.
@Kal Ipers: say her name 3 times and she will appear.
#FemaleViolence
#FeminineToxicity
@Unpersoned: It’ll never be as tacky as her misanderous ways
@Kal Ipers: you guys would seriously want to consider getting some lives and getting me off your mind.
@Kal Ipers: Also, I’m not sure if you can either read or count, but I’ve never said “men are the only ones attacking people”, I’ve consistently said that the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by men. Good grief, go back to school.
@Veronica: Perhaps their online interaction with you is the only time they get any attention from a woman, you’re keeping them warm at night. ;)
@Veronica: I’ve been trying to get you off my mind but I just can’t. I need you tonight, cos I’m not sleeping. There’s something about you girl, that makes me sweat. So slide over here and give me a moment ♡♡
@Lisa Saputo: :shudder:
@Kal Ipers: Kal, did you read the article because these women weren’t arrested for stabbing this poor boy?
To have a dig at someone, using a tactic of theirs that you disapprove of, is silly and counterproductive. Let’s build bridges lads and ladies. We’re all in this together whether we like it or not.
@Veronica: You have dismissed women committing violence and hid behind saying men are vastly more responsible. While doing this you ignore they are more likely to be the victim. You amuse me as an example of sexist person who is convinced they are correct by ignoring reality.
If you expressed these views in a paying job you would be rightly fired.
You are a terrible hypocrite who calls out people for not posting comments on other articles but don’t like it when done to you.
have your say
