Breakthrough hope in O’Reilly probe

DETECTIVES may know as soon as tomorrow if there is a breakthrough in the Rachel O’Reilly murder investigation.

Notes and cards found in the dead woman’s coffin, which was exhumed last week, are being examined by experts in the Forensic Science Laboratory.

Scientists may know tomorrow if they can determine the contents of a note which could help identify the killer. The note was in an envelope and was in a bad condition when it was taken from the coffin last Tuesday.
