Gardaí say they have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of a man's body in Co Cork yesterday.
The body of John Ustic (51) was found at a house on High Street, Skibbereen yesterday morning.
A preliminary examination of the scene revealed no sign of forced entry, although there was some disarray in the house.
A post-mortem exam was carried out earlier today.
The results showed that Mr Ustic died from injuries resulting from an assault.
The death is now being treated as a murder.
Gardaí are appealing to anybody who was in the High Street area of Skibbereen on Sunday 24th September 2017 between 7.30pm and 10.30pm to contact them.
