In the early hours of 26 July 2024, Patrick Murphy, a man aged 38, stabbed 20-year-old Jordan Ronan in the chest with a kitchen knife outside his home on Drumcairn Parade, Tallaght, Dublin 24, after Ronan was seen getting in and out of Murphy's van and his partner's car. Ronan was taken to Tallaght University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4.40am. Murphy was arrested the same day and charged with murder on 27 July 2024, but pleaded not guilty.
