Gardai are working to establish if murder victim Tony Dempsey was targeted over a woman’s drug debt.
The 28-year-old had suffered severe head injuries and bruising to his body in a flat in Dublin’s north inner city. His decomposing remains were only discovered after residents in Kevin Barry House on Coleraine Street concerns over the smell coming from the property.
Gardai discovered Dempsey’s body on Monday evening but believe it had been there for at least a week with drug users coming and going. Dublin Live has learned detectives received information a female associate of Dempsey’s was being sought by dealers but he was targeted instead.
