Police in the North say the body found on a roadside in Co Armagh is that of 35-year-old Paul Crymble who had recently moved to the area from Co Antrim.
Mr Crymble, who was an engineer, had earlier been abducted from his home.
He and his wife had returned to their bungalow at Ballybreagh Road in the Aghory area of Richill in the early hours of this morning when they were confronted by four masked men, one armed with a handgun.
His body was found between Portadown and Market Hill shortly before noon.
