Gardaí probe claims dead woman was lap dancer

GARDAÍ are investigating claims that a non-national found dead in South Kilkenny at the weekend worked as a lap dancer in Dublin and Limerick.

The decomposed and dismembered remains of mother of two, Paiche Onyemaechi, aged 25, were discovered wrapped in a bin liner and propped against a tree under a bridge in Piltown, Kilkenny, last Friday.

Gardaí leading the murder investigation are focusing their inquiries around Waterford City where the woman lived with her Nigerian husband and two sons, aged one-and-a-half and three-and-a-half.
