Woman arrested over violent death of Vincent Maher in Finglas

The 29-year-old was found dead at a party on Wellmount Road last Saturday.

GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING THE violent death of Vincent Maher found dead at an apartment in Finglas last Saturday have arrested a fourth person in connection with the case.

The woman in her early 20s was arrested this afternoon and is being held at Finglas Garda Station.

Three other arrests have been made after the 29-year-old was found dead at a party in an apartment on Wellmount Road in the north Dublin suburb.

A post-mortem on the deceased had concluded that he had died violently and gardaí are attempting to establish whether he was attacked at the address during the course of the party.

    Those involved will do a few years in jail where they will complain about being treated badly, moan about the food, demand TV. privileges and do the same when released. Isn’t the law Great!

    I asked a question! The Journal seems to be selective on which articles we can comment on when it comes to arrests or courtcases…

    Because no one has been charged yet. Once someone is charged then comments have to be closed because it can predjudice a case
