Man and woman held in connection with brutal murder
The woman is being detained at Blanchardstown Garda Station under section 30 of The Offences Against The State Act. Another suspect with a history of extreme violence remains in custody after his arrest earlier yesterday. The killing is not believed to be gangland related.
A post mortem has concluded on the body of Adil Essalhi, a 31-year-old Pakistani and father of four who lived in Drumcondra. While details of the post mortem are not being released, forensic evidence shows his throat was slashed. It is the fifth murder in the country already this year and the third fatal stabbing.
