A man in his 40s has been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in Dublin more than two years ago.

Adnan Asic had been walking home after a night out in the Blanchardstown area when he was violently assaulted in the early hours of Saturday 22 October 2022.

The 60-year-old was found lying on the ground with serious injuries at a busy junction just before 3am.

He was taken to Connolly Hosptial and pronounced dead there a short time later.

Mr Asic was originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, but had been living in Ireland for nearly 30 years.
