The scene in Kilbride, near Ashbourne, is being preserved and the Garda Technical Bureau is conducting a technical examination. The body has now been removed from the scene. It is understood the body, which was found on lands at Belgree Lane, had been wrapped in a carpet-like material. There were signs of injury to the body caused by violence and initial indications are that he died elsewhere before being brought to the wooded area.
The body was found in an isolated, wooded area of farmland property. It appears the body had been there for a number of days before being located.
