Nicknamed 'fox' because of his ginger hair. He was aged 19. The Islington Gazette reported "... McCarthy was attacked in revenge for abducting and torturing {a drug dealer}...".  6 weeks after that event two of the drug dealer's associates murdered McCarthy.  The murderers were both given life sentences.
