Gardaí in Drogheda have begun a murder investigation following the death of a man yesterday.
Preliminary post-mortem results released last night indicated that the man died from a stab wound received during an attack in Drogheda in the early hours of last Tuesday.
The 25-year-old victim has been named as Clint Wall, with an address at Marsh road, Drogheda. He was originally from Shankill, Co Dublin.
Mr Wall was found lying by the roadside at Marsh Road at 3.30 a.m. on Tuesday. He was bleeding heavily. The victim was taken by ambulance to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in the town. He underwent surgery but had suffered significant blood loss and internal injuries. He died at the hospital at 11 a.m. yesterday.
The State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy completed a preliminary post-mortem, with the results indicating the cause of death was a stab wound.
