Said on the radio earlier it may have been a botched burglary but not 100% for definite.

That's down by the homeless shelter.
Where they both homeless having a scrap?
Would love to know the full story.

Said on the news that this guy that was assaulted died earlier.


Very sad day for Cork, two violent deaths in such a short space of time.

it didnt say anything about the polish mans background but the other guy was living in a hostel and had been a heroin addict,
he is claiming it was self defence,
it is tragic though regardless of the circumstances

Mr Cork Man

I've been hearing rumours that he was hassled for money and then got attacked.If that's true then it looks like like this place is going to turn into a crime ridden dump like Dublin.

That's what comes with being a capital city unfortunately..

i heard today on red fm (i think) that the polish guy was living in the simon shelter,so as dob 74 said above it may have been two homeless people having a scrap,it wouldnt be the first time anyway,

If the H takes any more of a hold Cork will be in serious trouble. If you look around especially during the day in town there is quite a presence of the living dead shall we say.
