Fatal stabbing suspect in hospital
The man who died as a result of stab wounds sustained in an apartment at Larchfield Court, Kilkenny, was named locally as Kieran Monahan, 21, originally from Durrow, Co Laois.
The chief suspect, who was arrested in the vicinity of the murder scene and initially brought to the garda station in Kilkenny, had to be hospitalised himself as a result of “non-life threatening” head injuries sustained during the incident. Gardaí said last night he will be brought back to the station once released from hospital.
