A fifth set of remains, believed to be human, have been found in the Wicklow Mountains.

Officers uncovered the remains near Glenmacnass Waterfall after a torso was discovered in the area last weekend.

However, Gardaí say they still don’t know who the body parts belong to.

Superintendent Pat Ward is leading the investigation:

A formal murder investigation has not yet been announced. 

But Gardaí are investigating the possibility that the young man's killers dismembered and dumped his remains in a panic.

They say there is no apparent logic to the locations where the body parts were left.
