Gardaí investigate three deaths in weekend of violence

Gardaí are investigating three separate violent deaths in Dublin, Nenagh and Drogheda during the weekend.

A 32-year-old Romanian man was stabbed to death in Drogheda on Friday evening, while another eastern European man was also killed in a stabbing in Nenagh.

A second man was wounded in that incident, which happened during a fight at a house party in the Co Tipperary town.

In Dublin, meanwhile, a 28-year-old man died after being shot at a house in Finglas yesterday morning.

The victim, Kevin Ledwidge, had only been released from prison last Friday.

Gardaí are searching for two men who they believe carried out the murder.
