Police in Dublin are quizzing two suspects after the body of a man was discovered hidden in a wardrobe.
The gruesome discovery was made in a rented apartment on the north side of the city. Police raided the apartment after a tip-off that the body was there and about to be moved.
Officers searched several apartments in the same building before finally discovering the body.
The man, in his mid-50s, appeared to have been dead for some time according to reports. It is believed the man was originally from Cork and had been living in Dublin for some time.
A man in his 30s was arrested on Saturday afternoon and remains the chief suspect in the case. A woman is also helping police with their investigation.

'Tipper offerer's' were probably trying to protect their identity from dodgey neighbours by being deliberately vague. There's some strange goings on in this country of ours in recent times. When I were a young lad growin' up in the far flung southern suburbs of Dublin, (out near the Wicklow mountains), a murder was a truly unusual event. Now we're a post modern highly developed industrialised society (ahem!). Thank God for - progess(?)

it would help the cops more if the "tip off" people would give them the apartment number as well - that way they wouldnt have to waste time searching half the building!!!
