The men – aged 18 and 20 years – were being questioned last night about the murder of Gerard Burnett (28), a father of one, who was killed outside his home in west Dublin last week.

He died after sustaining a large number of stab wounds during an altercation outside the front door of his house in the Castlecurragh Vale estate, Mulhuddart.

He was living with his partner and son at the house. Mr Burnett’s partner (22) fled with the couple’s three-year-old son from the house as the fatal attack began.
