Mon 10 Oct 2009Man held for questioning on Tullamore stabbing death
A FRIEND of a woman who was stabbed more than 40 times in a fatal attack was last night being questioned by gardaí about the murder.
The man, who is the chief suspect, was found with a number of wounds at the scene of the murder of Brazilian woman Joselita da Silva (33), a mother of three, in an apartment in Tullamore, Co Offaly, last Thursday. He was arrested but was immediately brought to hospital, meaning gardaí were not in a position to question him.
