Probe into ex-soldier’s death continues

GARDAÍ hunting for the killer of retired Limerick soldier, Jimmy Boyce, said numerous statements have been taken and house to house inquiries are continuing.

The battered body of Mr Boyce, 72, was discovered in an upstairs room of his home at St Munchin’s Street, St Mary’s Park on Monday, March 7, after neighbours raised the alarm when he was not seen for a number of days.

Superintendent Frank O’Brien said a very significant investigation was ongoing and no arrests have been made. He said they are not releasing details of the cause of death as determined by the postmortem carried out by state pathologist, Dr Marie Cassidy.
