Hostel sealed off after man’s ‘suspicious death’

Gardaí last night sealed off part of Simon Community centre in Cork City as they carried out what sources described as an inquiry into the “suspicious death” of a man who was stabbed in the neck a few days earlier.

The victim, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, was stabbed in the neck with what garda sources described “as a sharp implement” last Friday.

It’s understood that the man, originally from North Cork, may have been involved in a row with another man which took place near the homeless shelter around 4.30pm last Friday.
