DNA tests as gardaí try to identify man killed in Dublin
The body of the man in his 40s was discovered at a house on Glendhu Road yesterday.
GARDAÍ HAVE SAID a murder investigation is underway after a post-mortem on the body of a man found in north Dublin yesterday.
The body of the man in his 40s was found at a house on Glendhu Road in Ashtown. Gardaí said his body has not been formally identified and DNA tests are being carried out. The results are expected tomorrow and a further appeal will be made.
They also confirmed that time of death has not yet been established.
For “operational purposes” the results of the post-mortem are not being released but this is now being considered a murder investigation.
The scene at the house remains preserved for technical examination and an incident room has been established at Cabra Garda Station. Anyone with information is being asked to contact the station on 01 666 7400, The Garda Confidential Line 1800 666111 or any garda station.
