Two women in hospital with stab wounds after separate attacks

TWO women were receiving treatment at Waterford Regional Hospital yesterday following two separate stabbing incidents over a 24-hour period.

A local woman in her late 30s was in a serious but stable condition in hospital after suffering a number of stab wounds to the chest during an incident in a house in the Ballybricken area of the city. The scene was preserved and a technical examination took place.

Two men were arrested in connection with the incident and questioned at Waterford Garda Station. They were last night released without charge.
