A WOMAN WHOSE body was found at a flat in west Belfast last Friday may have died more than two years ago, according to police in Northern Ireland.
Authorities were alerted on Friday after concerns were raised about the welfare of 68-year-old Marie Conlon.
PSNI officers forced entry into her Larkspur Rise home and discovered her body.
“It was apparent that she had lain undiscovered for some time,” according to Detective Chief Inspector Alan Dickson.
Detectives investigating the circumstances of the death have established that the last known sighting of Conlon was in January 2015.
“It is our belief, supported by the medical evidence, that her death may have occurred at around this time,” Dickson said.
A postmortem examination was carried out and the results suggest that the death may have been suspicious. Further testing is due to take place.
A murder investigation has been launched and a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including murder. He was detained in the west Belfast area yesterday and remains in custody at present.
Anyone who believes they may have information that could assist the investigation is being asked to call police on 101.

The UK will do nothing of the sort, or they’ll get hammered with trade sanctions. Just trying to quieten the unionists down for a while.
@Neil A Campbell: Teresa May correctly pointing out in the Commons today that the DUP voted against a deal that would remove the need for a border in the Irish sea. The DUP’s desire to see a hard border on the island of Ireland is palpable.
@Ian O’Donovan: true – and people seemingly passing over the fact that Donaldson objected to signing The Good Friday Agreement – they should call themselves the want their cake ear it party
“The current EU proposals….has left them without an Executive and with a threat to peace and stability”. No they haven’t. The DUP has left them without an Executive and the DUP threatens peace and stability.
@GrumpyAulFella: Jeffrey was never in favour of the GFA and even left the UUP over it. He has a history of not wanting to share power.
“ok ok ok i’m gonna do it guys, watch me watch me, this time i’m totally serious” never going to happen, to much to lose.
@Ian O’Donovan: Liz Truss is a wannabe Maggie Thatcher and will say anything to get noticed.
They’re still trying to find a scapegoat for the self-inflected damage of Brexit. Abandoning the exit agreement that Boris agreed would be an admission of their error. That will also trigger a worse-than-before situation for which they would again blame others. I look forward to participating in economic sanctions if that occurs.
UKG delivering on shadow promises made during Brexit vote, in spite of democracy.
@Rúraíocht: There will be no unilateral action by Boris, the consequences for the whole of the UK don’t warrant it.
No mention of this in the queens address to parliament yesterday delivered by big lugs. Which liz should we be taking heed of?
Like the cowardly antagonist that gets called out “hold me back, hold me back”
While the DUP threats grow bigger, the E.U. and Ireland say nothing of the consequences of the Boris bluff. If the E.U. were firm and said, for example, no trade agreement between E.U. and uk or put Boris in a situation where he had to choose between the ‘mainland’ and N.I. then the ‘mainland’ would win everytime.
What will Jeffrey do when the economic consequences of his actions begin to effect the mental health etc of his constituents?
@Barrycelona: We could see the “Plantation” of Scotland, Wales or England.
