Body of man found in suitcase in Grand Canal is identified by Gardaí
The man, who worked as a diesel fitter and JCB operator, had recently returned from Australia and was living on Lealand Road in Clondalkin, west Dublin. He was last seen at his home on Friday morning when he reportedly told his family he was going working ‘down the country’. He was reported missing the following day.
The suitcase containing his body, which had been wrapped in plastic, was spotted in the Grand Canal near Ardclough on Saturday by two people walking along the bank.
