Pair arrested in connection to murder of Lisa Thompson released without charge

Two people who were arrested in connection to the murder of Dublin mum Lisa Thompson have been released without charge.

Ms Thompson was found dead with stab wounds at her home in Sandyhill Gardens in Ballymun on May 10. The man and woman, both aged in their 30's, were arrested on Monday under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

They were being held at separate garda stations but have since been released. A garda spokesman said that "a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions."

At her funeral on May 23, Ms Thomspon was described as a "friendly, caring person who had dreams for her future". Parish priest, Fr Declan Burke, said: "Lisa did believe in fairness and justice, she was that type of person.

"Life is precious. Human life is sacred. The taking of any human life is very very wrong. "We trust and believe now that Lisa is now in the hands of God. She's at total peace and will always be with us."
