The house has been designated a crime scene, the services of the Garda Technical Bureau have been requested and the scene will undergo a technical examination.

The state pathologist has also been informed and will attend the scene.

Investigating Gardaí have said they are aware of comments circulating on some social media platforms.

“These comments are uninformed and unhelpful to the criminal investigation.

“An Garda Síochána appeals to members of the public not to circulate this social media speculation,” said a spokesperson.
