Four people have been arrested in connection with the murder of Paulus Bilyas in the Dublin suburb of Blanchardstown last June.

Gardaí arrested three men – aged 36, 24 and 21 – and a 32-year-old woman this morning.

All four are being detained at Finglas and Blanchardstown garda stations under Section 4 Criminal Justice Act.

Mr Bilyas' body was discovered in a house in the Pheasants Run estate on 25 June last.

He was from Lithuania and had lived in Ireland for two years.

A post mortem subsequently found that the 31-year-old had suffered head injuries.
