Gardai believe the mother of two may have been dead for several days prior to the discovery of her body.

The 52-year-old was the victim of a “serious physical assault and had suffered significant injuries”.

Gardai were alerted to the scene after a local called Dublin Fire Brigade for an ambulance, and on arrival, officers discovered the former youth worker dead in her home with 12 serious stab wounds.
