Gardaí are hunting a convicted killer over the brutal murder of a young father of two in Dublin . Sources have confirmed to The Irish Mirror that the prime suspect for the knife murder of Mark “Marky” Carroll, 34, in north Dublin in the early hours of Sunday morning has already served a sentence for a high-profile killing. He fled the scene of the stabbing of Mr Carroll in Finglas after the incident and has not been seen since.
Detectives in Finglas were hunting the suspect on Sunday night – and raided at least one property linked to him. But the suspect had gone to ground and was the subject of a major manhunt on Sunday night.

It’s understood the two were talking when a row developed – during which Mr Carroll was stabbed at least once. The stabbing happened at a house near Scribblestown at around 1am on Sunday morning. Mr Carroll was treated at the scene by paramedics and was rushed to Connolly Hospital in nearby Blanchardstown – where he lost his fight for life.
The area where the incident happened was still sealed off on Sunday night as Gardaí be.
