Gardai upgrade Waterford investigation to Murder inquiry

Gardaí investigating a suspicious death following the discovery of a mans body in Waterford yesterday have launched a murder investigation.

The body of 48 year-old Abdi Rasheed Kaaheen Shire - a Somali National who had lived in the Waterford City area - was discovered at an apartment on Wellington Street at around 9.20am.

A post-mortem examination has been carried out, but Gardaí say they are not releasing details for operational reasons.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information - particularly in the extended Somali community - who can assist with the investigation to contact them.
