The victim of a terror stabbing in an apartment in Dublin city center has been named locally.
Isaac Horgan was found seriously injured at the Markievicz home near Townsend Street in the capital on Monday morning.
He was rushed to St James Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead later that day, Dublin Live reports.
Sources said Horgan’s main stab wound was on his upper leg and that his femoral artery may have been severed.
Residents of the Markievicz house recounted how they were “shocked” upon hearing the news this morning.

The scene remains sealed on the block tonight while Gardai and forensic experts carry out investigations.
