Man Arrested In Connection With Kilkenny Death

Garda investigating the death of Anthony Barrett have arrested a Kilkenny man.

Mr Barrett, who was in his 40s and originally from Castlecomer, was found with fatal injuries at a house in Fatima Place on the evening of 7 March.

It is understood that he had been living in another part of the city, but had been drinking that day with a man in the city.

Bruising to parts of Mr Barrett's body lead to gardaí trying to find out if he was the victim of an assault.

However, Mr Barrett may also have suffered a fall at the house that day or on a previous day.

This morning gardaí arrested a Kilkenny man, also in his 40s, for questioning in relation to the death.

He can be questioned for 24 hours.
