Irish engineer ‘murdered for workers’ cash’

An Irish engineer robbed and murdered while working in Mozambique was killed for the cash he was carrying to pay local workers, detectives believe.

Quantity surveyor William Deasy was beaten to death four weeks ago today, after he left work at a mine on the north-east coast of the east African country.

The 32-year-old’s body was discovered two days later, near to where he lived, with his car found abandoned 200km away.
