A murder investigation is expected to be launched later Friday following the discovery of a body at a city apartment.
Gardai confirmed Friday afternoon that they were investigating after a man in his late 50’s was found dead at an apartment above shops on Wickham Street (seen left) in the city centre, around 11am.
The services of the State Pathologist have been requested by investigators while the scene is preserved for technical examinations.
Local and national media outlets are reporting the victim sustained a number of stab wounds, however Gardai have yet to comment further.
Gardai have begun door to door enquiries in the area and are appealing for anyone who may have information to come forward.
