Breakthrough in case of dumped body

GARDAÍ have a made a breakthrough in the investigation of a drug dealer’s body found dumped in Wicklow’s woods last month.

Bray resident Yohan Verhoeven, 31, had been missing since July last, when he was seen leaving his home. An Irish national with a Belgian father, he had been raised in Ballybrack.

The father-of-two’s remains were found by walkers in a remote area in Sraghmore Woods near Roundwood in early September. During an afternoon stroll, three foreign nationals discovered the decomposed remains in thick undergrowth. His body had been there for two months, gardaí now believe.
