Woman arrested in relation to murder of Mikolaj Wilk in Cork
Gardaí have arrested a woman in her thirties in relation to the murder of Mikolaj Wilk in Cork last year.
Mr Wilk, a gardener and handyman, was attacked by a machete-wielding gang at his home at Maglin, Ballincollig, Co Cork on June 10, 2018.
The 35-year-old father-of-two, originally from Poland, died from shock and haemorrhage due to multiple blows from sharp weapons, in association with a traumatic brain injury, an inquest into his death found.
