Dean Boland

Dean Boland is a 37-year-old man from Northwood, Santry, who was convicted in December 2022 for the unlawful killing of Ohari Viera following a fire he started during a burglary. Boland's actions led to a tragic incident where Viera, after escaping the blaze, re-entered the burning building for unknown reasons and perished. Boland is currently appealing his conviction, arguing that Viera's decision to return breaks the chain of causation linking him to Viera's death.
