Gardai investigating the murder of a Dublin man in the capital two weeks ago have arrested a man.

The body of 41-year-old Kevin Molloy was discovered at Glendhu Road in Cabra on Sunday, February 1.

Gardai investigating the circumstances surrounding the Dubliner's death have arrested a man in his early 20s this morning.

He is currently detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Finglas Garda Station.

A subsequent post-mortem carried out on the body of the victim by the State Pathologist, Professor Marie Cassidy, discovered signs of foul play and the investigation was subsequently upgraded to murder.



It is understood Mr Molloy had suffered head injuries and lost a large amount of blood during the 'frenzied attack'.

It is believed he may have been dead for a number of days before being found.

The gruesome discovery was made by the dead man's relatives who had become concerned after they had no contact with him in several days.

Gardai have spent the last week piecing together the man's final movements in a bid to establish a suspect.
