GARDAÍ BELIEVE that a man stabbed to death in Tipperary was targeted as part of a long-running feud in Waterford, even though he was not personally involved.

Willie Stokes (47), a member of the Travelling community, was fatally stabbed as he sat in his van outside a supermarket in Tipperary town at 6pm on Friday. His 11-year-old son was with him.
