Cameron Blair (18 June 1999 – 16 January 2020) was an Irish man who was fatally stabbed in the neck at a house party on the Bandon Road in Cork, Ireland on 16 January 2020. As the perpetrator was seventeen years old at the time of the killing, his name cannot be published under Irish law.[Note 1] The seventeen-year-old was reported to have gatecrashed the party alongside two other teenagers who were charged with less serious offences. Blair was transported to Cork University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. The teenage killer is currently serving a life sentence in prison. The ages of the victim and perpetrator, together with the murder taking place shortly after the killing of teenager Keane Mulready-Woods, resulted in the case becoming highly publicized in Ireland.[1]
On 4 September 2020, several months after the murder took place, Noel Barry (from Togher, Cork) called Blair's father making threatening and offensive remarks, including threatening to kill members of Blair's family. He was sentenced to a total of three years in prison. In total, six people were charged with offences related to the incident: one for murder, one for violent disorder and production of an article capable of causing serious harm, one for violent disorder, one for making threatening remarks, and two for contempt of court.
