A post-mortem examination has since been completed, although Gardaí have said the results are not being released for operational reasons as investigations remain ongoing.

According to reports, Mr Murray, a husband and father of one, suffered a stab wound. However, Gardaí have not officially confirmed a cause of death and continue to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A Senior Investigating Officer has been appointed to lead the inquiry, while an incident room has been established at Bailieborough Garda Station. A technical examination of the scene has also been completed.

Investigators are appealing for information from anyone who may have been in the Kilmore Estate area between 6pm and midnight on Saturday, August 15. Gardaí are particularly keen to hear from road users or residents who may have dash-cam, CCTV or other camera footage that could assist the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Bailieborough Garda Station, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.

Gardaí have said investigations are ongoing and that no further details are available at this stage.
