Brendan Gahan, a 39-year-old man from Tallaght, dies in Dublin’s Wheatfield Prison after a reported knife attack in his cell. Gardaí investigate the incident and are seeking to establish what led to the stabbing and the circumstances of the injury.
All reports identify Gahan and state that he was serving a sentence of two years and nine months for possession of drugs for sale or supply. The Irish Mirror adds that he is found to have suffered a knife wound to the neck following a late-night attack last Thursday. It also reports that a man is arrested in connection with the death and is later released without charge. Other outlets focus on the naming of Gahan and the ongoing Garda probing of the stabbing.
Gardaí continue their inquiries into the prison incident, including any actions and events surrounding the attack, the nature of the injury, and potential involvement of others.
