The body of 36-year-old Piotr Krowka was discovered at premises on Glen Road in the town of Maghera on Tuesday afternoon 3 April.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, the Polish national had been living in the town for a number of years and had been sleeping rough at an abandoned property.
Speaking at the time of the discovery, Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce from PSNI Major Investigation Team described Mr Krowka as a “vulnerable homeless man from the Polish community who had been living in Maghera for a number of years”.
“We believe he was sleeping rough in the derelict property which local people will know was a former Parochial House”.
Last week, a 17-year-old man was arrested by detectives in relation to the murder but was released on police bail pending further inquiries.
