A 21-year-old Lithuanian man is due to appear at Dublin District Court later this morning charged in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 24-year-old fellow Lithuanian at a house in Santry, Dublin, early yesterday.
The man was arrested by gardaí at a house in the Beaumont area approximately six hours later.
The deceased, who has not yet been named, was stabbed once in the chest at the house at Oak Avenue.
It is understood a row developed between at least two people in the house prior to the incident. The injured man was taken to Beaumont hospital but died shortly afterwards.
The scene of the incident, as well as the scene of the arrest, was sealed off yesterday as part of an ongoing technical examination by the Garda Technical Bureau.
Gardaí have also appealed for a taxi driver who transported a man from the scene of the incident shortly after it occurred to contact them.
A postmortem examination yesterday confirmed that the deceased died from a stab wound.
But a spokesman for the Garda press office said the name of the deceased man cannot yet be released, as all family members have not yet been notified of his death.
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for James Connolly Memorial Hospital last night said a 27-year-old man who was stabbed in Corduff Avenue in Blanchardstown on Friday night remains in a "serious but stable" condition at the hospital
She added that a 20-year-old man who was stabbed in the back at Woodvale Drive in Blanchardstown remains in a stable condition.
