A POST MORTEM on the body of a man who died suddenly in his home in Skibbereen, Co Cork, yesterday morning has confirmed he died after being assaulted.
The man’s body was discovered at a house at High Street in the town at about 9am.
He has now been named locally as English national John Ustic, aged 51.
It’s believed that Ustic was involved in an altercation at a nearby car park in the town prior to returning home.

@Noel O’Neill: €20 a week. You think people are leaving over €20 a week?
A CIS technician can be on as low as 40k in the DF, while their counterparts in private sector are getting 80k plus.
€20 a week…. That gave me a giggle….
It only takes one rogue machine to bring a whole network down. As long as the antvirus software is kept continuously up to date, systems shouldn’t be compromised.
@Mike Dunne: Seriously you think anti virus works like that. It is a game of cat and mouse.
You cant have an antivirus program that stops a virus it does not know. Hence the updates.
have your say
