Stabbing Leaves One Dead In Co Louth
One man has died and a female is recovering in hospital after a double stabbing incident in Drogheda yesterday.
The 32-year-old man who was stabbed in Drogheda yesterday passed away in the early hours of this morning in St. Vincents Hospital, Dublin.
The 30 year old woman who was also stabbed remains in Our Ladies of Lourdes Hospital but her injuries are not life threatening.
A 30-year-old man was arrested in Drogheda late last night in relation to the investigation and is presently detained in Drogheda under section 4 of The Criminal Justice Act.
The alarm was raised shortly after 2pm when Gardaí were called to an apartment in Fitzwilliam Court in Dyer Street.
It is believed the attacker was a man known to the female victim. He called to the apartment and attacked the couple because he was unhappy about the nature of their relationship.
Both victims were stabbed in the stomach. The attacker then fled the scene.
Both victims were taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, but the man was later transferred to St Vincent's in Dublin where he died in the early hours of this morning.
All three are believed to be of Pakistani origin.
