Post mortem results due following discovery of woman's body in wicklow
Gardaí are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination on the body of a woman found in Co Wicklow yesterday evening. The remains were discovered near Ashford during a search for missing Wicklow woman Anne Shortall. Around 100 people had been searching for the 47-year-old who had not been seen since last Friday afternoon. Gardaí have cordoned off a second site about 10kms from where the body was discovered. Crime reporter with the Irish Mirror, Garreth McNamee, says the scene of the discovery is a quiet, rural area. "The area...would be a sort of townland outside of Ashford - it wouldn't be a massive place at all" he said. "When I speaking to a couple of locals who said (it) was absolutely massively out of character for the area". "Anything of this sort of incident, it would never happen - so everybody was speaking of their shock" he added.
