Woman jailed for role in suitcase killing

WHEN the children playing near the Royal Canal in Dublin saw a suitcase floating in the grimy water, little did they know the Pandora's Box of crime, intrigue and deception they were about to open.

The children were horrified by the sight which greeted them: a decomposing body.

After a protracted search, which included the morbid move of publishing a photograph of the dead man’s face in the national newspapers, the gardaí finally discovered the identity of the murder victim. His name was Adrian Bestea, a Romanian immigrant.
