GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING the murder of 20-year-old student Cameron Blair have retrieved video footage relating to the incident.
A public appeal for information following the stabbing of Mr Blair at a house party in Cork resulted in a number of people coming forward with information, including video footage of the night in question, which will assist in the investigation.
Investigating Gardaí are following a number of leads following the public appeal, with a Garda spokesperson telling local outlet Echo Live that the team is satisfied with how the investigation is going.
Mr Blair was stabbed in the neck during an altercation at a house party on Bandon Road on January 16th, 2020.
It is believed a number of unidentified people gate-crashed the party and became violent when they were asked to leave. An assailant slashed Mr Blair in the neck before fleeing.
Mr Blair staggered into the street and collapsed. He was treated at the scene before being taken to University Hospital Cork where he sadly died from his injuries.
Reports indicate that Gardaí are searching for a number of teenagers in relation to Mr Blair's murder, and have dismissed false reports that a person of interest had left the country.
The CIT student is being mourned by his friends, family, fellow students and members of Bandon Rugby team.
