Man Killed Following Dublin Robbery

A man has been found killed in the car park of a shop in Dublin after an attempted robbery on Thursday night.

Details of the killing are still emerging, but gardaí at Clontarf Garda Station have launched an investigation into the death of the man in his twenties on what is thought to be the escape route of the robber.

Gardai were called to the scene at a shop in Killester, Dublin at 8.30pm, following reports of the robbery, where they found the injured man, who is thought to have suffered several stab wounds.

He was taken by ambulance to Beaumont Hospital where he later died from his injuries. A gardaí spokesman said the State Pathogolist will carry out a post mortem examination.

As part of the investigation into the death, a man in his thirties has been arrested and he is currently detained at Raheny Garda Station.

The scene of the incident, near a Supervalu supermarket, remains sealed off pending examination by garda crime scene examiners.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who was in the Killester area between 8.00pm and 9.00pm to contact Clontarf Garda Station.
