Domestic violence is suspected motive in deaths at apartment block, says PSNI
Det Supt Murphy, who is leading the investigation, said one of the suspected motives for the deaths was domestic violence.
Officers forced entry into the apartment following a phone call from a concerned relative who was unable to reach them. “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,” he added.
Yadeli Marimón, the sister of the deceased woman, told local media that the family had become worried after not hearing from Irina or her daughter Allison since the weekend. “We knew nothing about her since Sunday. She hadn’t been in contact so we got in touch with her friends to ask if they’d heard anything but they said no,” Ms Marimón told Caracol Radio.
Ms Marimón said the family was confused by what had happened to Irina and her daughter and it was looking for clarity from the relevant diplomatic 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.
