Gardaí wait for results after man’s body is found

GARDAÍ were last night awaiting the full results of a post mortem on the body of man found in a Dublin flat, before deciding whether to launch a murder investigation.

The body of the man, in his early 40s, was discovered at a flat at Harold’s Cross Road, on the southside of the city at 1.30pm yesterday. The grim discovery was made by the man’s landlord who immediately notified the gardaí.

Garda sources indicated that the man had wounds to his body that made the death appear suspicious. The positioning of his body also gave further grounds for concern.
