GARDAÍ ARE CONTINUING to question a woman in relation to a fatal assault in Co Tipperary over the weekend.

A 47-year-old man was found unresponsive at a house on O’Callaghan’s Lane in Carrick-on-Suir at about 11pm on Saturday night. He was later pronounced dead.

It’s understood that the man was stabbed during the incident. 

The man has been named locally as Pavel Javorski.

Speaking yesterday evening, local Sinn Féin councillor David Dunne said he ‘’was shocked and saddened by the tragedy”.
