Gardai have confirmed that body parts found at a recycling centre in Dublin are from a man.
Part of a leg was discovered last Thursday night at Thorntons recycling in Ballyfermot.
A lower leg was found on Friday, along with other flesh and bones, believed to be human.
A post mortem was carried out but the cause of death has not yet been determined and DNA tests are being conducted.
A forensic anthropologist is being brought in to help with the case.
