Gardaí treating unidentified man’s death as murder

GARDAÍ last night confirmed they were treating the violent death of a man last Friday as murder. Garda sources said they have not been able to identify the man.

The man was found in the remains of a derelict church in an area close to Waterstone Park in Palmerstown by a passer-by on Friday night.

The place where he was found is known to be frequented by drinkers, mainly teenagers, from time to time.
