TWO MEN DUE IN COURT OVER GORT RESIDENT MURDER

Date Published: 13-Mar-2012

Two men will appear before a Limerick court this morning, over the violent death of a Gort resident, whose body was found in a bog in Co. Kerry.

Bruno da Souza's remains were found in bogland near Listowel on Sunday.

The 28 year old Brazilian man had been missing from his home in Gort since February.

Last night Gardaí upgraded their inquiry into his death to murder, after a post mortem examination revealed he had died violently.

Two men arrested in Kerry on Sunday after the discovery of his body - a 19 year old Irish man and a Brazilian in his 20s - were last night charged by Gardai.

Both men will be brought to Newcastlewest District Court this morning after gardaí got directions from the DPP to charge them.

Gort Gardaí are liasing with their counterparts in Kerry.
