Mr Wilk, a gardener and handyman, was attacked by a machete-wielding gang at his home at Maglin on June 10 last year. A murder investigation was launched later that day. Gardaí have refused to comment publicly on possible motives for the murder but their probe has an international dimension, with gardaí liaising with police forces in Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Gardaí believe Mr Wilk was targetted by members of a criminal gang based in Eastern Europe who received logistical support locally. They were all questioned on suspicion of supporting the gang suspected of killing Mr Wilk.
