Gardaí investigating the murder of a homeless man in Cork last month have travelled to Romania to interview a 29-year-old man. Investigations quickly led gardaí to focus on a Romanian man living in Cork, who travelled to Belfast on December 30th, caught a flight to Edinburgh and from there flew to Romania. Gardaí made contact through Europol with Romanian police in the man’s home town near Bucharest and travelled to Romania on January 15th. Romanian police had located the man and requested he voluntarily attend at the local police station for interview in the presence of investigating gardaí. Gardaí hope to receive a statement in the coming weeks from their Romanian colleagues based on the interview with the man which gardaí will include in a file sent to the DPP.
