Gardaí say the results of today’s post mortem will determine the course of their investigation.

When stopped, Gardaí discovered they were a novice driver with no N-Plates displayed.

A sum of money was taken from the cash register and the male left the scene on foot.

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene on the Newtown Road last night just after eight o'clock.

Anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the area on the night in question is asked to contact their local Garda Station.

The Roscommon Roads Policing unit clocked a driver this morning travelling over twice the speed limit at 103kp/h in a 50kp/h zone.

It's rising from 60 to 62 for those working as Gardaí or prison officers.

The man is due to reappear on April 4, when it is hoped a book of evidence will be served.
