Gardaí in appeal to taxi driver over machete murder

Gardaí investigating the murder of a Polish man in Co Cork have issued a specific appeal for a taxi driver who dropped passengers in the area in the hours before the attack to contact them.

They believe this man, who collected three women from a pub in the Wilton area of the city at around midnight on June 9, and who dropped them in the Waterfall area, may have crucial information about the movements of the gang or the vehicle linked to the savage killing of Mikolaj Wilk near Ballincollig around 3am last Sunday.

Detectives have spoken to the three women. They have confirmed that the taxi was booked via a taxi app. The driver dropped the women to three addresses in the Waterfall area between midnight and 12.30am.
