His body was discovered by members of his family at his pub in Oughterard at around 6 o’clock on Sunday evening.

His hands were tied behind his back – and the results of a post mortem examination carried out on his body last night show he died of an assault.

A murder investigation has now been launched and Gardaí say they’re following a number of different lines of enquiry.

It’s understood up to 40 people were in the pub on Saturday night and so far a number of them have given statements to the Gardaí.

But officers in Oughterard are appealing to anyone with information to contact them.

So far no arrests have been made – as Gardaí continue to establish a motive for this vicious assault
