Gardaí seek more than one attacker in Bweeng death

Gardaí believe more than one person was responsible for the violent death of a north Cork man and that they must have used some form of transport to get to and from his isolated home.

They also suspect Peter Murphy, who was 36, was beaten to death at his rented home in Bweeng sometime late on the evening of February 5 or February 6. Mr Murphy’s body was not discovered until lunchtime on February 7.

More than 30 gardaí are working on the investigation and the man leading it, Supt Pat McCarthy, said that the inquiry is painstaking.
