A young man was beaten to death in a ' drugs den' flat and his body was left to decompose for a week. The investigation into the death of Tony Dempsey, 28, was upgraded to a murder probe last night following the results of a post mortem examination.
One line of inquiry the Gardai is investigating is whether he was attacked in a fight over drugs, Dublin Live reports.Dempsey's body was discovered on Monday night inside a flat located in Kevin Barry House, Coleraine Street in Dublin's Northern inner city.
Gardai were called by residents who were concerned about strange activity in the flat. It has been reported that over the week duration that Dempsey's body lay there, others came and went inside the property before he was found by authorities.
