Key role for bone expert in case of suspected murder

THE work of a bone specialist will form a key part of the Garda investigation into the suspected murder of a man who vanished more than 20 years ago.

An anthropologist is examining the partial remains of Brian McGrath, 43, which were exhumed from a grave in Co Westmeath early on Monday.

The father-of-four disappeared from his home in Coole, Co Westmeath, in March 1987.
