Man to be charged after fatal stabbing during altercation between neighbours

A MAN is expected to be charged for the murder of a neighbour in a small Tipperary village at the weekend.

The local community in Lattin, not far from Tipperary town, was in deep shock yesterday as news of the tragedy spread across the village.

The victim, Sean Murphy, aged 29, died after being fatally stabbed with a knife near his home on Sunday night. Local gardaí believe he was stabbed during some sort of “altercation” with a neighbour along a row of new houses.
