Michael Whelan, 64, was found dead on the kitchen floor of a flat in Herberton Park, Rialto, Dublin 8, on 27 February 2024, having died from blunt force trauma to the head and stab wounds approximately one week earlier. His son Seth Whelan, 36, was arrested the following day and charged with murder and criminal damage to a neighbour's Ring doorbell. Whelan was remanded in custody and the case proceeded to the Central Criminal Court, where a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. The trial, presided over by Ms Justice Caroline Biggs, saw the first jury discharged in October 2026, and evidence is now being heard before a new panel.
