A man hospitalised following a stabbing incident in Co Louth yesterday has died.
The Pakistan native (32) was seriously injured in an attack at an apartment at Fitzwilliam Court, Dyer Street, Drogheda yesterday afternoon.
His partner (30) was also stabbed during the incident, but her injuries are not life threatening.
The couple were taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, where the man passed away last night.
Gardaí believe a man known to the female victim called to the apartment and attacked the couple because he was unhappy about the nature of their relationship.
Both victims were stabbed in the stomach. The attacker then fled the scene.
A man (30) was arrested in Drogheda late last night in relation to the incident and is being detained at Drogheda Garda station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
