A MAN in his 20s continued to be quizzed last night after he was arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing in Dublin.

Gardai responded to reports of a disturbance involving a number of people at Curragh Hall Crescent in Tyrrelstown near Blanchardstown at around 10.30pm on Saturday.

Officers said that upon their arrival, those involved in the disturbance had dispersed from the scene.

A short time later, the man arrived at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown with serious injuries. He was later pronounced dead.

The deceased has been named as Victor Mamaligia, who was aged in his early 20s.

Shortly afterwards, a man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the investigation and was being held at a Garda station in Dublin overnight.

Three areas at Curragh Hall Crescent including an adjoining wooded area remained sealed off yesterday afternoon as technical and forensic examinations took place.

A pool of blood could be seen on the ground at one of the scenes, close to where a car was parked.

ALTERCATION

Garda forensic teams carried out investigations on the three areas within the cordoned off area, including in front of apartments, where it's understood the altercation may have started as well as the bottom of adjoining street Curragh Hall Drive.
