New details emerge as Gardaí appeal for video footage after man stabbed to death in Finglas

In an update published on Saturday evening, Gardaí at Finglas confirmed that their investigation into the fatal assault of a man in his 30s at a domestic residence in Finglas on January 13 is still underway.

The victim, Brian Hogan, was stabbed to death on Collins Place in Finglas, North Dublin, after 7:00 pm on Friday.

Officers believed a row broke out among a number of people before Mr. Hogan was stabbed, however, detectives do not believe the killing was feud-related - but may have been linked to drugs.

A post-mortem examination is ongoing and the scene remains sealed off to facilitate a forensic examination by the Garda Technical Bureau, according to a garda spokesperson.

A Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) has been appointed to the case and a Garda Family Liaison Officer (FLO) continues to liaise with the deceased's family.

Two men in their 30s arrested as part of the investigation remain in Garda custody at Finglas and Blanchardstown Garda Stations, under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

Gardaí are still appealing to anyone who has information that can assist with this investigation to come forward.

They are particularly interested in speaking with those who may have been in the vicinity of the Collins Place and Ballygall Road West area between 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm to contact them.

They are also asking those with video footage (including dash-cam) from these locations at the time, to make it available to them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Finglas Garda Station on 01 6667500, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
