Murdered woman ran city centre record shop

THE woman murdered and dumped in the street earlier this week was a mother of two who ran a record shop in Dublin city centre.

Rosemary Dowling’s naked body was discovered wrapped in a duvet on Mercer Street early on Tuesday morning. A 55-year-old man, who lives near the area, was arrested yesterday in connection with the murder.

Detectives investigating the murder were preparing to arrest the man when he walked into Harcourt Terrace Garda Station and said he wanted to make a statement.
