A man whose body was found stuffed into a freezer in an Algarve apartment will be brought back to his native Cork today.
Michael "Danzer" Ahern (38) was discovered by police in the Orada complex in Albufeira on September 15th.
Mr Ahern, from Churchfield Green, Gurranabraher, in Cork city, had been shot four times in the right side of his head.
Police in Portugal suspect the murder was a settling of scores by drug gangs.
He is believed to have left Ireland eight years ago, living in The Netherlands and Spain initially, before setting up permanent residence in Portugal last January.
Mr Ahern spent much of his adult life in Churchfield on the northside of Cork city and was associated with one of the city's most powerful drug gangs before setting up his own drugs operation.
He had been sought in connection with a serious drugs matter and a vicious assault.
