A woman (39) is due in court this afternoon charged in connection with the discovery of a man's body in a flat in the centre of Clonmel, Co Tipperary, yesterday morning.
Gardaí discovered the body of Declan Molloy at about 3am when they called to the flat he had been renting for the past 12 months on Mitchell Street. He was 35 and a father of four.
Gardaí were alerted after a woman went into Clonmel Garda station shortly before 3am to report an incident in the flat. The woman had sustained a number of injuries and was bloodstained.
Mr Molloy was found with stab wounds to the head and upper body in the sitting room area of the first floor flat where he lived alone. A local doctor was called, but Mr Molloy was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman was arrested under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. Gardaí suspended the questioning of the woman for a period to allow her to be brought for treatment in hospital.
She is due to appear in Youghal District Court this afternoon.
