A Malawian man in his 20’s was castrated after he was stabbed multiple times in a gruesome murder in Ireland.

The deceased has been identified as Limbani Mzoma who was also known as Robert and during the attack, he had suffered dozens of stab wounds to his neck, chest and back in an upstairs room in the house in Tudor Lawns at around 11.30pm on Thursday, Irish Independent reports.

Police have since arrested a 46-year-old Irish woman who is said to have been residing with the woman at the house in Foxrock.

Sources confirmed to Irish online news sites that “all the indications” were that his genitals were cut off after he died.

It’s reported that a senior source said, “This was a truly horrific scene in what is thankfully a very unusual crime in Ireland. There was a huge amount of blood when police entered the property on Thursday night.”

According to Irish Independent, Hours before the attack, police had been called to the same property at around 3.30pm after receiving reports of a domestic disturbance there.

However, it is understood the situation had calmed down and they left the house without making arrests.

Sources told the Irish Independent that police from nearby station had been called to the property on a number of occasions in recent months in relation to unruly behaviour when parties had taken place there.

Residents told the Irish Independent that there had been reports of anti-social behaviour in the house, believed to be rented, for several years.

One male neighbour said: “The windows of that house were opened all the time.

“There was always loud music and parties and the neighbours complained constantly, but nothing was done.

“I am a light sleeper and I woke up last night to the banging of doors. I didn’t think anything of it, so I fell back to sleep.”

Only two residents out of a large number spoken to told the Irish Independent they had seen a woman at the house in recent months.

Locals yesterday explained to local Irish reporters that many people in the estate are involved in residents’ associations and organise charity clean-up days and regular fun days.

However, many made it clear that the people living in the house where the murder occurred were not involved in community activities.

One man said: “They were strangers, who came and went and we knew nothing about them.”

Another man said there were “comings and goings at all hours, with constant parties and loud music.”

An older female resident said: “I saw all sorts of beings coming and going, the house was on a constant rotation of parties.”

Mr Mzoma is believed to have died a very gruesome death but investigations are still ongoing.
