Man may have been strangled before being buried under rock pile

Gardaí believe that a computer programmer, whose body was discovered yesterday, was murdered several days ago and dumped under a load of rocks in a quarry.

A man known to 41-year-old Adrian Folan was still being questioned by gardaí in Galway last night.

Detectives are believed to be working on the theory that he was driven to the remote location before being strangled.
