Gardaí probing the murder of a man found in the back garden of a house in Naas may have lain dead for days.

Shane Knott (36) is believed to have been beaten and suffered blows to the head. His body was discovered in the garden of a house in the Eustace Demesne estate on the outskirts of the Co Kildare town at around 1.30pm on Sunday. A man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of murder and gardaí are not looking for anyone else in relation to the investigation.
