Gardaí have begun a murder investigation following the death of a 60-year-old man in Dublin at the weekend.
Adnan Asic had been walking home after a night out in the Blanchardstown area when he was violently assaulted.
Initially, gardaí could not explain his injuries but a post-mortem revealed he died as a result of a violent assault.
Mr Asic was originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina but had been living in Ireland for nearly 30 years.
He was found lying on the ground at a busy junction in Blanchardstown with serious injuries just before 3am on Saturday morning.
He was rushed to Connolly Hosptial but was pronounced dead a short time later.
