A post mortem will be carried out today on the body of Mr Colm Craigie (36), one of the agents involved in the eviction of the Graham family in Ballyderowen, Co Donegal, last month.

Mr Craigie's body was found inside his Land Rover last Saturday afternoon. A generator had been placed inside the vehicle. Gardai believe that Mr Craigie, from Ashbourne, Co Meath, died after inhaling the fumes.
