Police are calling upon family, friends and associates, of Mr Milos, to come forward if they have any information.

He was last seen on Sunday morning, by the same female friend who found his body.

Neighbours of Mr Milos are shocked.

David Casey, Neighbour: “It’s just strange, this is such a quiet street, you don’t really expect this sort of thing to happen.”

Many residents say they didn’t know Mr Milos as he was relatively new to the area.

He was living between his parents’ house and multiple other addresses.

Forensic police completed their first sweep of the house this morning, they are now treating the death as a homicide.

A post mortem examination was conducted this afternoon investigations are continuing.
