Gardaí are treating the death of a Brazilian woman in Limerick as a murder-suicide after the body of a man suspected of killing her is found in Cork.

Reports say the woman’s death is being investigated by Gardaí in Limerick, while the suspected man’s body is recovered in County Cork. BreakingNews.ie adds that the recovery takes place around 12 hours after the woman is reported dead, with the body found near Blackrock Castle in Cork around 7pm on Friday evening. The man is described as a Brazilian national and is identified locally by some outlets.

RTE News states that the suspected man’s body is found in Cork at the weekend and that the case is being handled as a murder-suicide. Other reporting focuses on the timing and location of the recovery. Both accounts present the same core sequence: a woman is found dead in Limerick, and the chief suspect is later found dead in Cork, leading investigators to treat the deaths as linked.
