The man found in a house in north Cork on Friday has been identified as a Kerry man who had moved to the property after returning from the UK.

Tim O’Sullivan was a native of south Kerry and had lived for many years in the UK before moving back to Ireland to live in Mallow. The house on Beecher Street was purchased in 1989.
