Detectives launched a murder investigation after Sean Small, 84, was found outside the property in Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland, late on Sunday night.
His house and another property have been sealed off by police carrying out forensic examinations.
The victim had last been seen alive on 19 August, Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman said.
She said police received a report around 1.30pm on Sunday 24 August that a man in his 80s had been found outside a property in Newcastle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
"This was a brutal and sustained attack and while our investigation is at a very early stage, detectives are working at pace to determine the circumstances around this murder," she said.
Ms Foreman said she would not comment on how Mr Small died or whether there was more than one person involved in the attack.
She said a post-mortem examination is ongoing.

Now do the grooming gangs!
Some people have long memories.
That’s a shame.
Now, what’s for lunch?
L
Was not that long he only served 3 years for very serious and disturbing sexual offenses against children. This is a failure of the courts.
He was committing these crimes well into his 70s
“released from prison after serving a sentence for sexual offences was found dead outside his home after a “brutal and sustained” attack”
Hoo Yah!
How ‘bout them Irish!
If the court isn’t adequately punishing offenders don’t be surprised when vigilante justice occurs.
Sounds like someone had a long memory and was waiting.
Exactly..................
If the Irish had kept him in prison where he belonged, he would still be alive...
Irish Patriots doling out the justice their country refuses to give them in the courts.
Lot of places in Europe on the verge of exploding due to this shit. I just hope it doesn’t happen very soon as my son is in Wales right now and I want him home before the white man erupts. Because they will, eventually. It’s like the saying, when minorities erupt, cities burn. When the white man erupts, continents burn. And I am very much white!
Well said.
Give it a perfunctory investigation then close the case.
Correct. Someone didn’t forget and was aware of the release.
Like another poster said, oh well, what’s for lunch?
On that note, there was a guy released from Joliet prison after serving fifteen years. He was standing at the bus stop outside the prison when he was gunned down. Talk about a long revenge wait.

“Poor guy must have fell down.”
Ha!

Prayers for your son's safe return home.
Shepherd’s pie and a Guinness, I’d wager.
