Gardaí arrest man in relation to fatal stabbing

Gardaí in Tallaght arrested a man in his 30s yesterday afternoon as part of their investigation into the murder of 23-year-old John Murdoch in the early hours of Saturday morning outside an apartment block in the south-west suburb of Dublin. Mr Murdoch suffered a number of stab wounds to the chest during a row between two small groups of males outside the apartment complex at the Cushlawn Dale in Tallaght at about 12.30am.

Gardaí believe that an argument broke out between the two groups, who were unknown to each other, following an exchange of “insults and slagging” outside a late-night shop before moving towards the Cushlawn estate.
