A post mortem examination is taking place today on the body of a man who died after a serious assault in Sligo town.
39-year-old Russell Forde suffered a head injury at Rockmount Parade on Tuesday evening, and later died in hospital.
It follows the killings of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee in the area recently – but the gardai say it’s not connected to their deaths.
Local councillor Gino O’Boyle, has been paying tribute to Russell, who lived in Cranmore in Sligo town.
