Investigators believe an 89-year-old woman who was murdered in Co. Tipperary may have been attacked by someone known to her.
Joan Ray was found at her home in St Joseph's Park in Nenagh on Sunday and pronounced dead at the scene. Gardaí launched a murder investigation yesterday and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Mid-West journalist David Raleigh says there is one strong line of inquiry in the investigation: "A reliable garda source has told me that investigators are satisfied there was no visible signs of a break-in at Miss Ray's home. A number of lines of inquiry are being followed they say, including one possible theory that Miss Ray may have known her killer. A reliable source, however, did tell me they don't believe any weapon was used."
