Two Held Over Navan Murder

Gardaí investigating the murder of a 63-year-old man in Navan last month have arrested two teenagers.

Martin O'Gorman, from Athlone, was found lying unconscious on Academy Street on June 21. It is believed that he was attacked by a group of people.

He was taken to Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, but was later transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, where he died a week later.

Two males, aged 16 and 18, have been arrested in connection with the murder. The elder of the two is being held at Kells Garda Station, while the younger male is being questioned at Navan Garda Station.
