Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after the fatal stabbing of a man in Cork. Officers are expected to launch a murder investigation once a post mortem examination on the deceased is concluded. The man - who is aged in his 30s - died after apparently being attacked after he left his city centre apartment to go for food. Gardaí said the incident occurred on Lower John Street near Knapps Square and Devonshire Street in Cork city after 7pm on Monday evening. It is the second stabbing in Cork city in the space of just 48 hours.
