Irish murder still a mystery but gardaí believe 'anonymous caller' could solve case

It is 15 years since the killing of Gus Hornibrook shocked the country after the pensioner was beaten and left to die at his Cork home.

The 2007 mystery has still not been solved despite numerous clues left behind by his killer and gardaí have now relaunched an appeal for information, according to the Irish Independent.

Gus, known locally as Gussie Hornibrook, 74, was murdered in his own home on November 6, 2007. There's no obvious motive as to why the pensioner was killed - nothing was taken and there wasn't any sign of forced entry at his home. He was left tied up having been beaten and had a pillow held over his face.
