Gardaí have arrested a man in his 30s in relation to a fatal assault in County Kildare last month.
He's being questioned at a Garda station in the County, where he can be held for up to 24 hours.
A man in his 40s was discovered with serious injuries outside a house in the Piercetown area of Newbridge on March 8th.
He was taken to hospital, where he later died from the injuries he received during the assault.
