Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man outside his home in Co Cork.
Yesterday, the body of the 44-year-old man was discovered after an alleged assault in Doneraile.
He has been named as Barry Daly, a father-of-four from the village.
Mr Daly worked for An Post in nearby Mallow.
The two people arrested, a man in his 20s and a teenager, are being detained at garda stations in Cork.
A post-mortem examination of Mr Daly’s remains is due to get under way.
The house and roadway at Rockview Terrace, where he was found fatally injured in the early hours of yesterday, remained cordoned off overnight, as did a second location in the grounds of Doneraile Park.
A Senior Investigating Officer has been appointed to oversee the investigation.
An incident room has been set up in Mallow Garda Station and a family liaison officer has been assigned to Mr Daly’s family.
In a statement, An Post said that its CEO and all staff were deeply shocked at the death of their colleague.
“We offer our deepest sympathy to Barry’s family. May he rest in peace,” a spokesperson said.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and want to hear from anyone who would have been in the village between midnight and 2am yesterday morning to contact them.
They are also appealing for dashcam or mobile phone footage as door-to-door inquiries continue.
