The incident that occurred earlier today on Wellington Road involved a man in his 30s who suffered serious injuries from an apparent stabbing.

Witness and neighbour Sandra McMahon testified in the murder trial that Lisa Thompson, a mother-of-two, was selling prescription tablets from her home for €15 each.

The man was found unresponsive and with serious injuries shortly after 6pm, treated at the scene, but pronounced deceased a short time later.

The tragic collision involved a woman in her 80s, who was the sole occupant of one vehicle, and was pronounced dead at the scene, leading to the closure of the R473.

The scene itself was cordoned off for a number of hours to allow for a technical examination to get under way in a bid to determine how the fire broke out. From those initial inquiries, foul play has all but been ruled out.
