Dean Fitzpatrick funeral takes place this morning

The funeral takes places this morning of 23-year-old Dean Fitzpatrick who was stabbed to death last Saturday week.

The father of one died after a row at an apartment in Northern Cross, Malahide Road in Dublin.

On Friday the High Court ordered the release of his body to his partner Sarah O'Rourke after a dispute arose between his parents over where he should be buried.

Dean's step father Dave Mahon was named during the court hearing as a suspect and has been questioned about the fatal stabbing after presenting himself to gardaí.

Mr Mahon did not attend the removal mass yesterday in Donaghmede.
