Remains found in a ditch at Military Road, Rathfarnham on January 31st last were later identified as those of Mr Fetherston.

Three men and a woman were arrested and questioned in relation to the case last February and all were released without charge.

It is believed Mr Fetherston may have been killed when he sought the return of money he had given to somebody known to him.

Gardaí do not believe he was involved in criminal activity.
