GARDAÍ are searching for a man missing from an apartment block where a 27-year-old father-of-one was beaten to death and throw into a nearby river. Senior garda sources confirmed last night that they are looking for the man, believed to be in his 20s, because they are concerned for his welfare and they want to eliminate from their inquiries.

Gardaí believe that Jonathan Duke, a single man, who is the father of a 6-year-old girl, suffered serious injuries during an attack which may have taken place at Bridge House apartment complex — also known as the O’Callaghan Flats — in Bandon, Co Cork.
