At a press conference, police said they believed Mr Creaney had been the victim of a serious and sustained attack which he appeared to survive, but died some time later.
Police said Mr Creaney's body was found in the bin in the porch at the back of the house in which the 27-year-old man lived.
'Frail and vulnerable'
Det Ch Insp Richard Campbell said: "I would hope that the community would be rightly disgusted by the attempt to conceal Owen's body after this brutal murder.
"Owen was 40. In fact, he celebrated his 40th birthday last Saturday, 28 June. He was a frail and vulnerable man. Although he was only 40, he had significant mobility issues which meant he required the aid of a walking frame or stick to get about.
"I think it is important for the community to reject this violent assault on Owen and contact police with any information which they have."
Neighbours told the BBC he had only moved in three weeks ago and they believed the body may have been there for a number of days.Neighbours told the BBC he had only moved in three weeks ago and they believed the body may have been there for a number of days.
