Body find sparks fear among non-nationals

THE DISCOVERY of a headless corpse wrapped in black plastic and dumped under a bridge in Kilkenny on Friday last has sparked fear of further attacks among non-nationals, an administrator working with refugees said.

Gardaí fear it could take several more days to identify the remains of the African woman who was possibly in her 20s or 30s.

Non-national women are afraid to even go to the shops, said the Rev John Rochford, the administrator to the South East refugee information centre at Bolton House in Waterford.
