Quam Babatunde, 34, died after he was stabbed close to Grafton Street in Dublin in the early hours of Saturday.

PSNI detectives investigating a Dublin murder have been been granted an extra 36 hours to question an alleged killer. Quam Babatunde, 34, who was in the Irish asylum-seeking system, died after he was stabbed close to Grafton Street in Dublin in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The man tasked with breathing new life into Dublin’s night-time economy says it’s been a “tough couple of days” following a fatal stabbing incident.

A third man has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man after a fight broke out in a Dublin nightclub at the weekend. One suspect, who was arrested in Belfast by the PSNI on foot of a request from the Garda, was on bail for possession of an offensive weapon.
