Gardaí look to establish dead man’s last moments

Gardaí are still trying to trace the last movements of a man whose body was found on Thursday night with bruising to the upper body after a day-long drinking session.

The death of Anthony Barrett, in his early 40s and living on Parliament St in Kilkenny City, is being treated as suspicious.

Originally from Castlecomer, Mr Barrett was found with fatal injuries at about 7pm on Thursday in a house at Fatima Place in Kilkenny.
