A MAN IN his 20s who was arrested after the stabbing to death of a man in Carlow has been released without charge.
The man was arrested after gardaí were called to a house on Frederick Avenue in the town on Wednesday. There, they found a 46-year-old man dead.
The man was taken to Carlow Garda Station, where he was held until late last night.
He was released without charge and a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
It is believed that the deceased man, who has been named locally as father-of-one Marcus ‘Murt’ Brennan knew the younger man.
A post-mortem carried out yesterday will determine whether the investigation will be upgraded to murder.
