Woman arrested after 30-year-old man dies following incident in Carlow

A woman has been arrested after a 30-year-old man died following an incident at a house in Carlow.

The man was discovered with serious injuries and unresponsive at a house on New Oak Estate at around 11.40pm on Monday.

Emergency services treated him at the scene before he was taken to St Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny, where he was pronounced dead.

In a follow-up operation involving local gardai and the Armed Response Unit (ASU), a woman was arrested in the Carlow town area a short time later.

She is being detained under Section 4, Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a garda station in County Carlow.

The local coroner has been notified and the services of the Garda Technical Bureau and State Pathologist have been requested.

A Senior Investigating Officer has been appointed to lead the investigation and an incident room has been established at Carlow Garda Station.

A Family Liaison Officer has also been appointed to support the family, gardai said.

The scene has been preserved for a forensic and technical examination and a post-mortem examination has been arranged.

Gardai are appealing for witnesses to come forward. They are also seeking anyone with camera footage, including dashcam recordings from road users in the New Oak Estate and nearby areas around the time of the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Carlow Garda Station at 059-9136620, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
