THREE YOUNG MEN arrested by gardaí in Co Offaly as part of the investigation into the murder of 64-year-old Thomas (‘Toddy’) Dooley have been released without charge.
A 23-year-old man was detained at Portlaoise Garda Station while two 19-year-old men were being held at Tullamore Garda Station earlier today.
All three were released this evening and a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The body of Dooley, known locally as Toddy, was discovered at a house in Edenderry on 16 February having sustained fatal injuries to his upper body.
There have been a number of arrests as part of the investigation but as yet no charges have been brought. Three men aged between 19 and 24 were arrested a number of weeks after Dooley’s death but were later released.
