The same woman has now been cuffed again by investigating officers.
A Garda spokesperson said: "A female in her 30s has been re-arrested as part of the investigation into the fatal assault of a male that occurred at a house in Ballyconnell, Shillelagh, County Wicklow, on Thursday, 10th February, 2022.
"She is currently detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Bray Garda station.
"Investigations are ongoing.
Locals at the time did not know the victim of the attack but said it was totally uncharacteristic of the area.
One woman said: “It’s very sad. I wouldn’t know the man and I don’t think anyone around does really.
“But it’s just really shocking that it happened.
“I only realised after 9pm on Thursday night that something had happened when I looked out the window and saw the blue lights.”
Cllr Vincent Blake echoed what those in the small community were saying.
He said: “Shock is the first word that comes to mind in regards to what happened here.
“People here just talk about sport, the local school here, the church and so forth, things of that nature is what comes to people’s minds, not something of this nature is ever associated with it.
“So really it’s a tragedy.”
