Mother of baby Noeleen wants facts revealed

THE mother of a baby girl whose body was found dumped in a laneway in Dún Laoghaire over 32 years ago has made an impassioned plea for the full facts of her daughter’s death to be established.

Cynthia Owen went public for the first time, repeating claims she witnessed her baby being stabbed to death immediately after her birth in 1973. Her mother went public earlier this year denying the allegations.

A house in Dalkey, where the family lived in the 1970s, was excavated by gardaí earlier this summer after Ms Owen claimed the body of her second child, a boy called John, was buried in the back garden. A two-week search of the site failed to uncover any evidence to support this.
