Post mortem shows man died of gunshot wounds

Gardaí say post-mortem results show that a man in his 40s who was found dead in Dublin yesterday sustained a number of gunshot wounds.

The body of the car mechanic was discovered in the upstairs bedroom of his home at Rockbrook Cottages in Rathfarnham.

Gardaí in south Dublin are today continuing a technical examination at the house where the body of the man in his early 40s was discovered yesterday.

The man, who has been named locally as Liam Murray, was found dead in the upstairs bedroom of his home, where he lived alone.

The discovery was made when a friend of the man called to the house at the request of a family member, who was worried that the man had not been seen since St. Patrick's Day.

The dead man's remains were examined at the scene by the State Pathologist, Marie Cassidy, before being taken to hospital for a full post-mortem examination.

The examination has found that Mr Murray sustained a number of gunshot wounds.
