Gardai in Waterford are appealing for assistance in relation to a fatal stabbing at a psychiatric hospital last night.
A female patient died after she was attacked on the grounds of St Otterans.
A man is being questioned in connection with the attack but gardai are asking anyone who was in the John's Hill area of the city from 6pm yesterday evening to come forward.
Independent Cllr Mary Roche says the attack ha come as a shock because St Otterans is based in a very quiet residential area.
