A dead man was brought into a post office on Friday in a bizarre bid to collect his pension by two men now at the centre of a Garda probe.
The pair carried the remains of Peadar Doyle into Hosey’s on the Staplestown Road in Carlow.
The brazen duo propped the retiree’s corpse up on their shoulders, but a staff member quickly noticed the elderly man was ashen-faced and possibly dead and gardai were called.
