Stabbing

On Monday, officers responded to reports of an incident at the house in Dublin 2 at around 11am and found a man inside a flat with serious injuries.

The man, aged in his 50s, was brought to St James Hospital and was later pronounced dead.

The Irish Times reports that gardaí believe the man was likely stabbed to death and appeared to have suffered a single large knife wound.

However, gardaí have not yet launched an official murder investigation as they are waiting on the results of a postmortem to rule out any other possibilities.

A postmortem is due to take place today, the results of which gardaí said will determine the course of the investigation.
