Major TV appeal by Gardai over body found in north Kildare

Gardai made a appeal on the Crimecall programme over the murder of a man whose body was found dumped in north Kildare.

The body of Silvestras Stoskus was found by a local farmer in the Broadford area of Kildare on March 18 2015.

The victim was last seen leaving his home at Bun Daire, Kinnegad ten days earlier.

Last night Leixlip-based Supt Gerry Wall made an appeal on Crimecall for anybody with any information on the murder to come forward in confidence.

Last year, three men were detained at Naas Garda Station in connection with the murder but were later released.

The three men arrested on Tuesday were aged 32, 35 and 46. Files are currently being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Six people - three men and three women - were previously arrested in connection with the murder of Mr Stoskus in October 2015, but they were all released without charge.
