Awful news.

78-year-old Limerick woman

A Garda investigation has been launched after the discovery of a 78-year-old woman’s body in suspicious circumstances yesterday.

According to RTÉ, the body of Rose Hanrahan was found at her home in Thomondgate, Limerick at around 1:30 pm yesterday afternoon when a relative called to her home.

It’s thought that Rose met a “violent death” with a post-mortem due to take place later today.

Reports suggest that Gardaí are pursuing a line of inquiry that suggests Rose’s home was burgled but this has not yet been officially confirmed.

It’s also thought that she may have been strangled.

A source spoke to The Mirror:

 “The poor lady was tied up and the house was ransacked”.

Rose’s husband Mike passed away five years ago and at the time of her death, she was living alone.
