A man who was found dead inside a Fallowfield house had moved to Manchester from the Republic of Ireland. Thomas Murphy was found dead at a property on Beverly Road on Saturday (September 24).
The 42-year-old was named for the first time earlier today as his alleged murderer appeared in court. Mr Murphy is understood to have been living in Manchester for a number of years with his family, but frequently visited home, CorkBeo reports.
Greater Manchester Police told CorkBeo that Mr Murphy was originally from the border of County Cork and County Limerick, in Munster. He is understood to have a number of close relatives in both Ballyagran and Charleville, North Cork.
