Gardaí probe fatal stabbing in Kilkee

Gardaí investigating the fatal stabbing of a 25-year-old father of one following an incident in Co Clare early yesterday morning have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Three men have been arrested in connection with the death of Karl Haugh, who sustained fatal injuries following an altercation with several men at Marian Estate in Kilkee. The incident is thought to have happened at around 1.15am.

Gardaí arrested a man at the scene, while a large area of the housing estate was sealed off, including a house where Mr Haugh had sought refuge and received first aid until ambulance paramedics arrived.
