ATTEMPTS ARE BEING made to contact the family of a woman whose body was found in a luggage bag in north Dublin city on Sunday morning.
Gardaí have now identified the victim, who was a woman in her twenties originally from Malawi. However, her name will not be released until relatives have been informed.
Meanwhile as the murder investigation gets under way, detectives have appealed for anyone who may have seen a man carrying or pulling the suitcase in which the victim’s body was found.
It is described as a large, dark-coloured luggage bag. The bag was left at St David’s Terrace on Blackhorse Avenue in Cabra at some point on Saturday evening, before being discovered at 8.30am on Sunday.
Gardaí appealed for anyone who saw any “unusual or suspicious activity” around Blackhorse Avenue, the North Circular Road, Prussia Street and Aughrim Street to contact them.
A post-mortem showed the woman, who had a plastic bag over her head, had died of asphyxiation.
Photos today showed officers combing through wheelie bins around the area where the body was found.
RTÉ reports that investigating officers believe she was killed near the spot where her body was dumped, sometime between 3pm and 7pm on Saturday.

Hopefully they’ll get a reduction on their bill although the standing servicecharges
@Tommy Haze: The standing/service charge is what pays for connection/reconnection services.
@Sean O’Dhubhghaill: The standing charge is how they really screw us. They get you to compare their prices against what little competition is in the market and make themselves look better.
Answer me this: If it’s for connection, why do all new houses have to pay massive connection charges.
When the network is in need of a major upgrade, why does the regulator add it on to customer bills. One of the current upgrades, smart meters has been added on to customers bills for the next 20 years. I wonder how they will all explain what will happen when the telecom networks switch off 2g on which these meters work.
@Donal Ronan: I heard the smart meters being installed in Ireland weren’t giving live data to yet esb which is bad enough but I never knew they were using the old mobile data network until now!
Hopefully it will just be a case of swapping in new sim cards, though even that would result in a large standing charge increase!
Was is it anything to do with the ESB lads heading off to France to repair the French infrastructure!
Will probably still apply.
