A short time later, a Volkswagen Jetta car, registration number 06MH3192, that was used in the murder, was discovered on fire at Rusheeney Village.

This car had been purchased four days prior to his murder on the 18th December.

Gardaí are specifically appealing to a person who was jogging on the Blakestown Road, in Blanchardstown after the incident between 6.30pm and 7pm on December 22 2018.

This person stayed with the deceased until the ambulance arrived and Gardai would like this person to come forward to see if they can assist them with progressing the investigation.
