GARDAÍ HAVE SAID a murder investigation is underway after a post-mortem on the body of a man found in north Dublin yesterday.
The body of the man in his 40s was found at a house on Glendhu Road in Ashtown. Gardaí said his body has not been formally identified and DNA tests are being carried out. The results are expected tomorrow and a further appeal will be made.
They also confirmed that time of death has not yet been established.
For “operational purposes” the results of the post-mortem are not being released but this is now being considered a murder investigation.
The scene at the house remains preserved for technical examination and an incident room has been established at Cabra Garda Station. Anyone with information is being asked to contact the station on 01 666 7400, The Garda Confidential Line 1800 666111 or any garda station.

And here was me cursing at the rain this morning before I left the house.
I dont know the facts but when says rugby world cup was forced to cancel several games you have to doubt everything else is valid. Can these news agencies not just report the facts. The story is already bad enough without adding to it. (3 games were cancelled)
@Doire: Not meaning to be pedantic. But does “several” not mean more than 2 but not many? Considering that the article is not specifically about the rugby world cup state of play, it’s not an unreasonable statement in an article about a typhoon.
@Paraic: a few i take to mean 3-6, several too mean 7+. My way of thinking is that its the biggest thing happening in the area the typhoon is hitting could we at not at least expect to get basic facts correct.
@Doire: Then your understanding of the word is factually incorrect.
It means “being more than two but fewer than many in number or kind”.
The article did get the basic facts correct.
Another one is at 35, more than “several” people have been killed which is far more important than a lack of understanding of a single word.
@Reuben Gray: and far more important than the cancellation of several games of rugby. Thinking of the Japanese people affected and wishing them a speedy recovery.
@Doire: Clearly your understanding of the English language is limited, as there are several grammatical errors in your comment.
