A man in Ireland has been stabbed to death in what detectives believe may have been a row over a game of chess.
Police officers were called to a house in the Castleknock suburb of north Dublin at around 1.50am on Monday morning, and arrived to find the 39-year-old owner dead with multiple stab wounds. He was a former journalist.
A 34-year-old man from Italy was arrested at the scene. Detectives said a row had broken out over a chess move and spiralled out of control, adding that they were not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. No alcohol or drugs were involved. A post mortem examination is yet to be carried out.
