Body of a man discovered in Waterford - Garda witness appeal

A manhunt is underway for a convicted killer who is suspected of stabbing a man to death on Sunday.

A man in his 30s was fatally stabbed in Finglas, Dublin, shortly after 1am. 

The man who was killed has been named locally as Mark Carroll. Aged 34, the father of two was from the Finglas area.

It is understood that the suspect is known to gardaí and has previously been convicted for a fatal shooting.

Mr Carroll and suspected perpetrator were known to each other, it is understood.

He was stabbed with a knife, it is believed.

Gardaí confirmed they are investigating the death of a man in Dublin 11 on Sunday.

"Shortly after 1am, gardaí and emergency services attended a residence in the Scribblestown area where a man in his 30s was found with serious injuries. He was treated at the scene and transported by ambulance to Connolly Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased a short time later," a statement said.

"The office of the State Pathologist has been notified, and a post-mortem examination will be arranged. The scene is preserved for examination by the Garda Technical Bureau.

"A senior investigating officer (SIO) has been appointed to lead the inquiry, and an incident room has been established at Finglas Garda Station. Additionally, a Garda Family Liaison Officer (FLO) has been assigned to keep the deceased's family informed of developments."

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward, particularly those who were in the Scribblestown area between midnight and 1am. Additionally, individuals with video recordings, including motorists with dash cams, from the area within the timeframe are asked to provide footage to investigating Gardaí.

The investigation is ongoing, and further updates will follow, gardaí said.
