A man in his 40s is due in court this morning after an elderly man was stabbed to death in west Dublin.
It happened over the weekend.
Gardaí were called to reports of an assault outside a house in the Whitechapel Road area of Clonsilla at 6.30am on Saturday morning.
A man in his 70s had received a number of stab wounds following an altercation. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man in his 40s barricaded himself into another house nearby. A media blackout was put in place during this and he was arrested several hours later just after 11.30am.
The man has now been charged and is due before Blanchardstown District Court this morning.
