“A waste of a young life” say residents of Carlow town estate following assault that left a local man dead

There’s devastation for a local family and their neighbours following the death of a man in Carlow town last night.

Gardaí were called to New Oak Estate after 11:30pm where they found the 30-year-old unresponsive and with serious injuries outside a house – he was taken to St Luke’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A post mortem’s expected to be carried out at University Hospital Waterford this afternoon.

While the Garda Technical Bureau has been carrying out its examination of the scene.

A woman who was arrested shortly after midnight can be held for 24 hours.

It’s understood the two are known to each other and are both from Carlow.

The man who died was a father of two and people of the area have been summing up how they’re feeling for KCLR News;
