GARDA\u00cd BELIEVE A man who disappeared five weeks ago in Dublin was stabbed to death in an apartment in Dublin and his body concealed by his attacker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The victim, Charlie \u2018Lachy\u2019 Clarke (67), was last seen in June by his family. After five weeks they went to garda\u00ed at the weekend to report him missing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is believed that Clarke, who was known to garda\u00ed and originally from Limerick, was attacked in his home, an apartment at Viking Harbour, near Victoria Quay in Dublin 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The garda theory is that his body was then taken from there and disposed of by his attacker or people linked to the suspect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is understood his family did not formally report him missing to garda\u00ed and instead put up posters around the area in Dublin looking for him.<\/p>\n
They checked if he was in garda stations and hospitals and posted online looking for help to find him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they became increasingly concerned they then went to a garda station last Sunday and reported him missing. Garda\u00ed immediately began an investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rapidly garda\u00ed determined that it was a criminal matter, and they believe he was likely stabbed to death.<\/p>\n
They arrested a Polish man who is in his 20s, who is being questioned at a garda station.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a statement a Garda spokesman said that the man is being questioned under Section Four of the Criminal Justice Act which gives garda\u00ed a maximum of 24 hours to hold him.<\/p>\n
\u201cGarda\u00ed are investigating all of the circumstances around the disappearance of a male (aged in his 60s) who was reported missing from the Dublin 8 Area, on Sunday 26 July 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result of ongoing enquiries, a male (aged in his 20s) has been arrested in connection with the investigation today, Tuesday 28 July 2026,\u201d the statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GARDA\u00cd BELIEVE A man who disappeared five weeks ago in Dublin was stabbed to death in an apartment…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":573913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[242174,615,42,66902,65944,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-573912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-charles-clarke","tag-dublin","tag-headlines","tag-liberties","tag-missing-person","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=573912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/573913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
