A house in Rathfarnham where a man's body was found yesterday evening remains sealed off as the investigation into his death continues.
The victim, a 42-year-old man, was found with what's believed to be a knife wound to his back.
Residents of Marley Court South were shocked to see emergency services descend on their quiet cul-de-sac.
The body of the man was found at the foot of the stairs.
