Two Dead In Bray Stabbing

The body of a second man has been found following the fatal stabbing of a man in Bray.

Gardaí investigating the murder of 22-year-old Sebastian Creane on Saturday have discovered a second body in connection with the case.

Officers in the area investigating the initial fatal stabbing found a second body, also believed to be that of a 22-year-old man, who is currently believed to have taken his own life. The second man is also understood to have died as a result of knife wounds.

A post mortem is to be carried out later today on the body of a 22-year-old man who was found in the back garden of a house in Bray, Co Wicklow, yesterday.

Two other people, Mr Creane's brother and another woman, were also stabbed during the initial incident and are being treated in St Vincent’s Hospital. Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

The State Pathologist has been notified and a Garda Technical Bureau Team is expected at the scene this morning.

Mr Creane was found stabbed to death at his family home at Cuala Grove in the town yesterday morning.

Gardaí initially thought the attacker had fled, but during their examination of the house they found the body of the second 22-year-old man in the back garden.

They say they are not seeking anyone in relation to either death.
