A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a woman in her 50s was found in County Cavan.
Gardaí (Irish police) said they were called to a house in a rural area near Ballyconnell at about 21:30 local time on Saturday. A man in his 60s was also seriously injured, and remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
One man in his 30s has been arrested at a separate location, and gardaí have said they are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
A technical examination has also been carried out at the house, Irish broadcaster RTÉ reports.
The woman’s body remained at the scene overnight but has now been taken for post-mortem examination to Cavan General Hospital.
The woman is originally from the area and is a mother of five grown-up children, according to RTÉ.
Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and those with information to come forward.
Anyone who travelled in the area of Kilnavert, Ballyconnell, on Saturday, between 20:30 and 21:30, is asked to provide police with any available camera footage, including dashcam recordings
