Two men will appear in court this morning in relation to the murder of a man whose body was found in a bog in north Kerry during a planned Garda search on Sunday.

Gardaí have formally upgraded their inquiry into the death of a Brazilian man in Kerry to murder.

The body of a man in his late 20s, found in a quiet bogland area in north Kerry yesterday afternoon, is believed to have been brought in from another area and dumped there.
