Human remains have been discovered in the Ticknock area of South Dublin, near the Dublin Mountains.
Gardai are still trying to establish the identity of the deceased following the grim discovery last Tuesday. However, they are following "a definite line of enquiry" and post-mortem results will further shed light into the case.
