Man interviewed over death of plasterer

GARDAÍ were quizzing a man last night in connection with the death of plasterer Tommy Thompson, whose remains were found in a shallow grave this week.

The body of the father of five was missing for nine months before Garda sniffer dogs and search teams discovered it dumped in woods in Co Laois on Wednesday.

The 59-year-old plasterer was owed money from other workers who had done jobs with him, according to locals, but a row over the debt turned nasty.
