Gardai have opened a murder investigation into her death.

The scene at Llywellen Court in Ballinteer was cordoned off for several days as investigators searched the area.

PRAYER

At the Islamic Cultural Center of Ireland in Clonskeagh, prayers were said for a mother and two children.

The three coffins sat side by side in the center as Imam Hussein Halawa said a series of prayers prior to their funeral.

The bodies were taken to Newcastle Cemetery where they were laid to rest.

Gardai said details of the post-mortem results were not disclosed for operational reasons.

ALARM INCREASED

Affected neighbors sounded the alarm before noon on Wednesday October 28, and Gardai made the grim discovery when they arrived at the scene.

Gardai urged the public not to divulge uninformed information publicly, saying it was not helpful to the investigation.

Dozens of locals held a candlelight vigil in front of the family home hours after their bodies were found.

No arrests were made at this point.

Gardai has urged anyone with information about the deaths to contact the investigation team at Dundrum Garda Station 01-6665600, Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or a Garda Station.

The Indian Ambassador to Ireland wrote on social media after his death: “The embassy has offered full support to the family and Garda.

“It also expresses appreciation to the local community for coming together and showing solidarity in a difficult situation.”
