"The couple were injured when they were attacked in the Shrewsbury Downs area of Ballinlough on Cork's southside. The deceased woman was named locally as Stella Gallagher (59). Her husband, Brian (62), remains in a serious but stable condition in Cork University Hospital (CUH). The incident occurred shortly after 9pm. A man in his 20s, understood to be known to the couple, was later arrested by gardaí in connection with the attack."
"A weapon described as a large kitchen knife is understood to have been found at the scene covered in blood. The double stabbing occurred in the mature Shrewsbury Downs estate which was developed over 40 years ago. It is just a short walk to the Cork Constitution rugby club grounds and Cork GAA's Christy Ring Park. The affluent area is marked by two-storey red brick homes - with an expansive green area at its core."
