Gardaí issue fresh appeal for information on murder
Edward, or Eddie, Fitzmaurice was tied up, beaten and left for dead inside his Co Mayo home by a gang of robbers.
The widower was attacked over the 1998 May Bank Holiday weekend but his body, tied to a chair in the bedroom of his Charlestown home, was only discovered five days later. He died of hypothermia, but the gardaí who issued the fresh appeal described the crime as murder.
