Victim’s body still being held until family contacted
Detectives say they are still investigating the murder of 42-year-old father-of-four John Forrester, whose body was recovered from the river Bandon last Tuesday morning. He had been beaten and stabbed. The body was found wrapped in a rug, with its hands and feet bound.
By last weekend, gardaí had, with the help of diplomats in the British embassy in Dublin, and Interpol, traced Mr Forrester’s relatives in Britain.
