Mr Zhyvytskyi was attacked just metres from his home in Camden Court on Carroll's Quay in the Lower John St and Knapp’s Square area. He had left his home to get food in the nearby Shandon St area, but was stabbed as he walked the short distance home. Mr Zhyvytskyi is survived by his wife Viktoriya, and their young daughter. In a moving tribute on Rip.ie, Viktoriya wrote that her husband’s family will carry him in their hearts forever. On Thursday evening, a 42-year-old man accused of murdering Mr Zhyvytskyi by allegedly stabbing him in the chest was brought before Cork District Court.
