Colombian family of mother and daughter killed in Newry seek Irish consulate’s help so the woman's father can travel to the North
Det Supt Murphy, who is leading the investigation, said one of the suspected motives for the deaths was domestic violence.
“I would appeal today to anyone who came into direct contact with either Giselle or Allison or communicated with them via text or social media since Friday to contact detectives in Newry,” added Det Supt Murphy. “Postmortem examinations are currently under way. I do not yet have any preliminary or definitive causes of death, and I do not intend to speculate about that today. I would expect the postmortem results to be available to us in the coming days,” he said.
Ms Marimón said the family was confused by what had happened to Irina and her daughter and are looking for clarity from the consulate in Colombia. She also requested that the consulate help her parents travel to Ireland in order to bring the bodies back home to Colombia.
