The 43-year old was living at the Hotel when he disturbed two intruders who had broken in during the early morning.

It was during a brief altercation when he confronted the pair that Mr Dressler was shot and killed.

One male was arrested for the shooting, but the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions discontinued the charge.
