"We are keen to speak to anyone who was in contact with Thomas, or who knows of his whereabouts in the 24 hours leading up to his death.

"Anyone who can assist us, or has information they believe may be helpful is asked to contact detectives at Strand Road on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 352 of 12/05/18.
