Man charged over murder of Kimmage pensioner

74-year-old Edward Boylan was stabbed to death in his retirement flat in January.

A MAN IN his late 20s has been charged with the murder of pensioner Edward Boylan in January.

Boylan was found dead by firefighters at his retirement flat in Kimmage in south Dublin on the afternoon of 7 January. He had been stabbed in the chest and a knife believed to be the murder weapon was found at the scene.

The fire service had been alerted by a blaze at the flat in the Ravensdale Close retirement complex which gardaí say was started maliciously.

The man in his 20s will appear before a sitting of Dublin District Court later this morning.
