A 23-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with the murder of student Leo Carolan on Dublin’s South Circular Road  last week.

The body of 25-year-old Carolan, a student at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design, and Technology and aspiring DJ, was discovered in the flat he lived in on Bloomfield Avenue in Dublin 8 last Tuesday.
