Man held after frenzied stab attack on woman

A man charged with murdering a prostitute in Thailand eight years ago was being questioned yesterday in connection with the frenzied stabbing of a mother outside her Dublin home.

Rose Kenny, 49, was stabbed up to six times in the back, neck, and abdomen as she left a flat complex in the south inner city at 8am.

A short time later, a 48-year-old man handed himself into Mountjoy Garda Station. Gardaí were last night hopeful of bringing charges against him.
