100s of lines of inquiry being examined in connection to fatal Dublin stabbing

Renewed appeals are being made for information on a man stabbed to death in Dublin.

Gardaí investigating the murder of Michal Kurek are renewing their appeal for information.  He was a 34 year old Polish man who resided in Ireland for several years.   Michal’s body was discovered at Grange,  Ballyboughal, Co. Dublin,  on August 4 last. Following a post mortem examination it was established that Michael died as a result of stab wounds.

Superintendent Noel Carolan speaking today said, "The area where Michal’s body was discovered is otherwise a generally very quiet, peaceful rural community.  Michal was homeless during recent months and is known to have spent time in the Blanchardstown / Ongar area and in Dublin City Centre.  A Garda Family Liaison Officer is engaged with members of Michael’s family in Poland to provide support and inform the family of the progress of the investigation.”

Superintendent Carolan said:"Garda resources are not being spared in this investigation and several hundred lines of enquiry are being examined. We have received massive assistance from the public as well as very valuable information from the local community, the Polish community and the homeless community. However, we are still appealing for anyone with information to come forward.”

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who knew Michal, in particular anyone who met him or knew of his movements at any time on Thursday August 3 or Friday  August 4 to contact with Balbriggan Garda Station on 01 802 0510 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111
