A homicide investigation has been launched following the death of a man in Blockhouse Bay. 

Police were called to an incident where a man was injured by another person on Rathlin Street at 11.37am. Upon arrival, a man was located with critical injuries. 

Sadly, despite efforts of emergency services, the man died at the scene. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family, and we are providing them with support at this difficult time.

We will be speaking to those who witnessed what has occurred and we encourage anyone with information who has not yet come forward to contact Police as soon as possible.
