Gardaí are continuing to question a man arrested in connection with the investigation of the murder of a father of two in Limerick.
Detectives obtained a 72-hour extension to allow them further question the man arrested last week in connection with the killing of Daniel Treacy (35).
State Solicitor for Limerick city, Michael Murray, made the application at a special sitting of Limerick District Court yesterday afternoon.
When Chief Superintendent Dave Sheehan spoke in favour of the application, the arrested man's solicitor told the court she had been instructed not to contest the application and it was granted by Judge Tom O'Donnell.
Gardaí have already obtained one extension for a 29-year-old man, who was arrested on Monday. That extension period is due to expire tonight.
A 28-year-old man questioned over the killing was released without charge on Tuesday evening and a file is due to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
