Gardaí offer ‘assurances’ to man who left scene of Mallow murder

Gardaí continue to search for a man who left the scene of the murder of Conor Quinn in Mallow, Co Cork, on Thursday night.

Investigators yesterday took the unusual step of offering public assurances to the man in a bid to encourage him to contact gardaí, and believe that dashcams mounted on passing cars may contain footage that will aid their investigation.

Mr Quinn, 24, who was a Galway native living in Killavullen, 10km east of Mallow, suffered fatal injuries when he was stabbed in an altercation on Bridge St in the town centre at around 8.30pm on Thursday.
