Detective Inspector Hollands said the body was found in a bedroom of the house.

“I’ve got no further details in relation to his injuries,” he said.

“It was clear to the attending officers that he was deceased and that it appeared suspicious.

“We’re suspecting the death occurred somewhere between one o’clock this morning and midday today.”

He said there were no persons of interest at this stage and no indication of drugs or alcohol.

“It does not does appear that robbery was a motive,” he said

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything in Ronald Street, or anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage in the area to contact them.
