A MAN and a woman have been arrested over the death of a man found with a gunshot wound to his head.

Gardaí said the pair, both aged in their thirties, were detained on Monday night and on Tuesday morning after Gary O'Brien was found dead in a flat on the North Circular Road, Dublin on Sunday.

Investigations centred on whether Mr O'Brien had died by suicide or if anyone else was in the flat around the time he died.

The pair who were arrested were detained under section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act at two city centre Garda stations.
