Man due in court over fatal stabbing

A man is to appear in court in Co. Mayo this morning charged in connection with the death of another man in Kiltimagh earlier this week.

Francis Heneghan, 24, was found with stab wounds in a laneway in the town in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The father-of-two died at the scene despite efforts by Gardai to assist him.

A 23-year-old is due before a special sitting of the District Court in Castlebar at 10.30am this morning.
