Gardaí are appealing for the public's help in tracing the whereabouts of a missing 63-year-old man from Co. Offaly.

A man has been missing from his home in Offaly for three days.

The forensic examination at the scene of a fatal stabbing in Co Offaly is expected to conclude today.

GARDAÍ were last night hoping to question a man in connection with the murder of a Brazilian mother in Tullamore, Co Offaly.
