A murder investigation is under way after a mother-of-two was stabbed up to 12 times in Dublin.
Lisa Thompson was killed at her home in Sandyhill Gardens in Ballymun, where her body was found yesterday afternoon.
The 51-year-old was not involved in crime, and no one has been arrested so far.
John Hand, the chief reporter with the Irish Daily Mirror, says her post-mortem examination is taking place today.
"Miss Thompson suffered a very violent death and girly believes she was stabbed up to 12 times but officers are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination which they should have later on this evening.
"A murder investigation is underway, an incident room has been established at Ballymun Garda station under the direction of a senior investigating officer."
