Appeal Launched Over Fatal Dublin Stabbing
The investigation into the stabbing of a Polish man in Dublin during the early hours of Sunday morning has turned to taxi drivers for information.
Gardai at Swords this morning said the were renewing their appeal for information following the incident which occurred on the 12th December.
A spokesman said investigating officers particularly wished to speak to the drivers and occupants of a number of taxis that were operating around the time of the stabbing.
Firstly, a taxi travelling from the Wright Venue to Richmond Road between 2.45am and 3.30am on Sunday morning, and also a taxi who picked up two females and a male on Booterstown Avenue at approximately 3am on Sunday before dropping one of the females at Kirwan Street and continuing on to St Aidan's Park via Richmond Road where the remaining female and male got out.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Swords Garda Station 01-666 4700, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111, or any Garda Station.
A postmortem of the 29-year-old victim was carried out yesterday morning as Gardai carry out searches on Dublin's northside in a bid to find out where the victim was killed. The man was attacked and stabbed a number of times in the stomach and died from his injuries on Monday afternoon in the Mater Hospital.
The man, with an address in Naas, Co Kildare, is believed to have travelled to Dublin on Saturday to meet some friends. Detectives have established the deceased was among a party of up to 12 men and women, all believed to be Polish, who spent Saturday night into Sunday morning socialising at the Wright Venue bar and nightclub at Airside Retail Park, Swords, north Co Dublin.
He went to an apartment in the Drumcondra area, and the group then moved on to the Wright Venue in Swords, north Dublin, and partied there until shortly after 2.30am yesterday.
