The victim of an alleged stabbing assault at a home on the northside overnight has been named locally as Mark O’Connell. The 38-year-old died at Cork University Hospital after sustaining serious injuries during an altercation at a home in the Hollyhill area of Cork city<\/a> in the early hours this morning.<\/p>\n Garda\u00ed and the National Ambulance Service responded to the scene at the Hollyville residential estate at around 4.30 am this morning, and Mr O’Connell was rushed to hospital<\/a> where he passed away. He is understood to have suffered stab injuries during an incident at a house in the early hours of the morning. It’s understood that Mr O’Connell was injured during a serious disturbance at the home, which is in a mature, residential housing estate off Harbour View Road. Neighbours and local residents have been deeply upset by the incident.<\/a><\/p>\n A man in his 50s was arrested shortly after the incident, in connection with the investigation. He is detained at a Garda station in the Cork division, where he is being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. He may be held for up to 24 hours without charge. A senior investigating officer has been assigned to lead the investigation, and a liaison officer has been appointed to support Mark O’Connell’s family. The results of a post-mortem examination will assist Garda\u00ed <\/a>in their investigation.<\/p>\n Mr O’Connell’s death has sent shockwaves through the community. Cork North Central TD Thomas Gould earlier spoke of a sense of sadness following such a shocking incident. He told Cork Beo: \u201cMy thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased and everyone affected by this incident. This was a tragedy, and the neighbours and nearby residents are shocked. This is a quiet community, and people are very upset this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n May he RIP.<\/p>\n
