CO MONAGHAN, Ireland - Gardai are continuing to seek public assistance in relation to the violent death of a man at his home at Knockreagh Lower, Broomfield, Co. Monaghan, on Thursday morning.
The death of Christopher Mooney, aged 60 years (pictured), has been declared a murder.
A post-mortem was carried out by Dr. Linda Mulligan, Office of the State Pathologist on Friday. The results gardai say will not be disclosed for operational reasons.
The house in which Mr Mooney was killed remains a crime scene, and the examination of the scene continues by the Garda Technical Bureau.
