"72 year old, Mary O'Keeffe's body was found on the afternoon of the 4th of February last when a passer-by spotted a burning car near the Coillte forest in Doneraile.
The Mallow Fire Service was called and when the firefighters extinguished the fire, they found Ms O'Keeffe's body.
Ms O'Keeffe was pronounced dead at the scene.
At the inquest into her death earlier this year, the court heard that her body had to be identified using DNA evidence.
The widowed, mother of three was originally from Lombardstown, but lived in Dromahane and worked as a cook.
