Row may have led to man’s death in Fermoy

The escalation of what had been a minor spat, may have led to the death of a father- of-two after he was struck with an iron bar during a row outside a busy service station in Co Cork.

Paramedics were unable to save the Eastern European man Ludovil (Ludo) Pasztor, 40, after he sustained serious head injuries in a fight which broke out at a truck stop behind a service station in Fermoy.

The victim’s friend, who is also non-Irish, was injured in the attack which took place at the Amber Service Station, Dublin Road, Fermoy, at around 10pm on Tuesday.
