Gardaí believes two men’s deaths in Monaghan are linked

Garda believes the stabbing death of a man who was discovered dead in a house in Co. Monaghan earlier on Thursday is connected to another death that occurred nearby.

The death of another man who was struck and killed by a car in a nearby incident is thought by Garda to be connected to this one.

At 6.30 am, a man in his 60s was discovered with stab wounds in a house in Broomfield, a five-minute drive from Castleblaney.

Another man was killed shortly after on the Ballynacarry Bridge, close to the house, after being hit by a car.

Garda believes there is a connection between these deaths, and they are trying to determine whether the men knew one another and what kind of relationship they had.

The cordon has been lifted on the house and the man’s body has been taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where a postmortem will take place.
