Post motem result expected by lunchtime

The results of the post mortem examination of the body found on a Co Meath roadside are expected around lunchtime.

The results are expected to indicate what caused the man’s death.

The man, who is thought to be in his 30’s or 40’s, was found earlier this week with his hands and feet tied and with severe head injuries.

The deceased has not yet been named and Gardai have launched a murder investigation headed by Chief Superintendent Michael Finnegan.
