The man who died in "unexplained circumstances" at his home at Rattin near Milltownpass has been named locally.

Stefan Posschier's body was discovered by gardaí shortly after 6pm yesterday. He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

Mr Posschier, who was in his 60s, was a native of Belgian and had lived in Ireland for over 20 years. A popular medium and psychic, who was also known as Stefan De Guylian, Mr Posschier was well known around the Mullingar area.

Earlier today it was reported that a male "person of interest" has been interviewed by gardaí in relation to the suspected murder of Mr Posschier.

The person of interest was located in the south east and it is understood that he is helping gardaí with their enquiries.
