TWO MEN HAVE been arrested in connection with the fatal assault of a man in his 30s in Tipperary over Christmas.

In the early hours of 27 December, a man’s body was found at a house in Ballycrana, Kilross in the southwest of the county.

A man in his 20s was later arrested and has since been charged.

Gardaí said last night that they have now arrested two further men, both aged in their 30s, in the Dublin area part of the investigation.

“Both are currently detained under section 30 of the Offences against the State Act, 1939 at a Garda Station in Co Tipperary,” a garda statement said.

Investigations are ongoing.
