Two quizzed over Pole’s death in bin

Gardaí were questioning two people last night in connection with the death of a homeless Polish man two weeks ago.

Henryk Piotrowski, 43, a father of two, was found dead inside the contents of a bin lorry at a waste recycling facility in Walkinstown, south Dublin, on Aug 23. The homeless man had somehow ended up in a commercial wheelie bin overnight on Aug 22 before it was collected in the early hours of the next day.

While the autopsy showed he died from suffocation, it also revealed he had suffered injuries to his face and head consistent with an assault.
