A post mortem examination showed he died from internal injuries and gardaí have launched a murder investigation.

A man (27) and a woman (37) are being held at Donnybrook and Irishtown garda stations.

Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information from the public and in particular they are hoping to talk to any taxi drivers who may have picked up or dropped off two people - a man and a woman - between 2am and 5am on Monday morning.

Cathal McMahon is Crime Correspondent with the Irish Daily Mirror:

Thomas Horan moved into Cambridge Court three years ago.

He was found dead by a friend in the bedroom of his ground floor flat in the early hours of Monday morning.

A murder inquiry was launched yesterday after a post-mortem revealed he had died from internal injuries.

Superintendent David Taylor is looking for the public's help with their investigation:

The man and woman in custody can be held for a total of 24 hours.
