Man dumped on beach was assaulted

Gardaí believe the man whose body was found dumped on a popular beach had been assaulted elsewhere, and that a second crime scene exists that may yield clues to whoever is responsible.

The Lithuanian man, who was in his mid-to late-40s, was naked from the waist up and had clear injuries to his torso and head.

It is believed a sharp weapon was used to inflict some of the injuries, including one which had cut one of his ears into two pieces.
