GARDAI are investigating after the body of a man was found in north Dublin.

The discovery was made at around 11am this morning in Balbutcher Lane in Ballymun.

It is understood that the man’s body was found in a container.

A senior source told Independent.ie that the man had been savagely assaulted and also suffered stab injuries.

Gardai have cordoned off an area around a container on wasteland off Balbutcher Lane.

A number of uniformed Gardai and plain clothed detectives are at the crime scene just off the M50 motorway.

The area is behind a steel gate but is accessible from the roadway over a small mound, with a number of containers inside the grounds.
