Six people arrested in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Silvestras Stoskus earlier this year have been released without charge.

The three men and three women, ranging in aged from mid-20s to mid-40s, were questioned at Athlone, Mullingar, Lucan and Naas garda stations after being arrested on Wednesday.

Mr Stoskus’s body was discovered in a field in Co Kildare last March.

He was reported missing from his home in Kinnegad ten days before the discovery of his body by a farmer walking his land near Broadford.

Mr Stoskus's family had previously offered a reward of €10,000 for information on his whereabouts after he went missing on 8 March.

A file is being prepared for the DPP.
