The 44-year-old man who died in Knockanure, Co Kerry, after being stabbed has been laid to rest.
Gerard Kennelly, aged 44, was discovered by Gardai and emergency services with fatal injuries on Sunday night.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was later removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Kerry for a post-mortem.
It is believed Mr Kennelly was stabbed several times during the incident.
Mr Kennelly was laid to rest on Friday at Corpus Christi Church, Knockanure, at 11.15 am, with the Requiem Mass being celebrated at 11.30 am, followed by burial afterwards in Ahavoher Cemetery, Moyvane.
