Two men arrested on Wednesday in connection with the murder of Mahamud Ilyas have been charged and are set to appear before the courts on Friday.
The body of Mr Ilyas was found in Co Meath last month. Four people were arrested as part of the inquiry into the death of the young man.
Mr Ilyas (22) lived in Blanchardstown, west Dublin. Gardaí believe he was murdered on 10th December last. A few days later his body was found rolled up in carpet in an isolated area of farmland near Kilbride.
A man walking in the environs discovered the remains in a wooded area and raised the alarm. Gardaí believe Mr Ilyas died due to injuries sustained in an assault with a blunt object.
