Latvian national due in court in connection with fatal stabbing

A Latvian national is due before Dublin District court in connection with the fatal stabbing of his flatmate at the weekend.

The 31-year-old victim was stabbed more than a dozen times. The severely injured man, also a Latvian national, was only discovered in his basement flat in Seville Place in the North inner city on Friday night when neighbours became suspicious and raised the alarm.
