A man has been arrested and charged in connection with the murder of a father of three in Cork last year.
Thirty-eight-year-old Mark O’Connell was attacked and stabbed during a row at a house in Hollyhill in November last year.
It’s understood he was found lying in a pool of blood and was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Earlier this morning, a man in his 50s was arrested and taken to a Garda station in Cork City.
He has since been charged and is due to appear before a special sitting of Cork District Court at half past ten this morning.
In March of this year Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margot Bolster said a postmortem found that Mark O’Connell died from severe bleeding and shock caused by a stab wound to his upper chest.
The wound caused heavy bleeding around his lung and also caused bleeding into the sac surrounding his heart she said.
