Garda i are investigating a potential drugs dispute as a motive behind the fatal stabbing of Willie Moorehouse in Bray . The 36-year-old victim was found collapsed and died from his injuries in a playground on Boghall Road on Sunday evening. Authorities believe Mr. Moorehouse may have arranged a physical confrontation with someone he was having a dispute with, but was ambushed by a group of men armed with knives.
He sustained multiple stab wounds, reportedly as many as ten, and despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigating officers have arrested six individuals in connection with the homicide. Two men in their 20s, one in his 30s, a juvenile, and two other males, one in their 20s and the other in their 40s, were apprehended under various offenses, including the Public Order Act. The Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI) is also aiding in the investigation. During the investigation, seven properties at a halting site were searched under warrant, yielding several knives that are now being forensically examined. The authorities hope these tests will link the weapons to the suspects. Willie Moorehouse was a father of six children and was expecting his seventh child with his wife, who is heavily pregnant. Tributes have poured in for Mr. Moorehouse on social media, with friends and family expressing their condolences and remembering him as a kind and harmless individual
