'Warnings' not acted on before tragic death of Tony Dempsey in 'drugs den', claims councillor

Questions remain as to how 'warnings' were not acted on before Tony Dempsey was killed in a 'drugs den', a Dublin councillor has claimed.

The 28-year-old's body is suspected to be have been in the flat - which he was not living in - at Kevin Barry House in the city centre for a week before it was found. People are understood to have come and gone from the apartment in the days between his death and the discovery of his body.

Neighbours reportedly complained of a stench coming from the property in the days leading up to the grim find. The garda investigation into the young man's death was upgraded to a murder probe last night following a post-mortem investigation.
