By Cillian Sherlock, PA
A man who was arrested in connection with the murder of Adnan Asic more than two years ago has been released without charge.
Mr Asic died in the early hours of Saturday October 22nd, 2022 in Dublin.
He had been walking towards Blanchardstown Road North coming from the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre when he was violently assaulted.
He was taken to hospital but died as a result of his injuries.
Mr Asic was originally from Bosnia but had lived in Ireland for more than 30 years.
On Tuesday, gardaí arrested a man in his 40s in connection with the death.
He had been detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a garda station in north Dublin.
He was released without charge on Wednesday and a file is to be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Gardaí had renewed their appeal to any person who was in the area between midnight and 3am on the morning of Mr Asic’s death to come forward.
In particular, anyone who saw two men together at the junction of Blanchardstown Road North and the Old Navan Road, Mulhuddart, Dublin 15 was asked to make contact.
Investigations are ongoing.
