Gardaí are questioning a suspect tonight after a man was beaten to death in an early morning row in a house in rural Co Cavan.
Sources told The Mirror that the suspect, who is a criminal from the west of Ireland, was tracked down after he fled the scene of the killing in the border village of Blacklion – and managed to get more than 80 kms away.
Sources have confirmed that the suspect was arrested in Castlerea in Co Roscommon after he emerged as a suspect for the brutal beating to death of the victim, named locally as Dennis Neary.
