A MAN WILL appear before Bray District Court tomorrow charged with the murder of Anne Shortall.
The Rathnew woman was reported missing on Saturday and her remains were found in a workshop at the back of a house, not far from where she was last seen.
The deceased is a local mother of three children.
Her body was taken to St Colmcille’s Hospital in Loughlinstown where a post mortem was carried out today.
Gardaí have preserved the scene at a workshop shed in Ashford and have launched an investigation into the circumstances of her death.
RTÉ News reports that a second scene in Wicklow town is also being examined as part of the probe.
An appeal for witnesses has been made, with anyone with information asked to contact the local station or the Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.

Heartbreaking for this woman’s family to receive such harrowing news. Also for the family of the accused, they must be in complete shock.
RIP Ann
I take it you read the daily rags. Who spout a lot of sensationalist crap without any thought to the family. Also exactly where did their ‘information’ come from?
RIP Anne. You will be missed.
What I know or do not know I will not splash all over the internet out of respect and decency to the family. News media like vultures picking over the story with no regard for the living. Just because RTE and the Independent say something most definitely does NOT make it gospel.
Journal censors working overtime again, deleting comments. Different day same old same old.
Well Helen you are the one who inferred it was ‘sensationalist crap’ but now you decline to back up your assertion.
Can we just let the family have some peace now and let the Garda do their thing.
No I do not decline to back up my comment. I decline to feed the vultures. There is a difference.
Yeah and the rolling stone catches no moss…There’s also no place like home!! But what exactly is your point here?
I’m assuming you’re not so sick as to be laying blame on the deceased?
Lolo … comment was deleted so I can’t repost it or I’ll be barred (again)
I was referring to the comment made by ‘ss’
Comments open??????
Nobody had been charged yet that’s why they are still open
The journal amazes me. Open comments here but closed elsewhere on anything to do with SF sex abuse.
Guilty guilty guilty.
Agree with you 100%. The journal is a pro Sinn Fein as the Indo is pro Government. Journalists are an utter joke in this country.
Man, the sensitivity trigger on the censorship gun here, is very very twitchy.
Rip in peace
have your say
