Tests to confirm identity of Irish pilgrim

TESTS are expected to confirm this morning that a woman’s body found at Medjugorje is that of missing Irish pilgrim Winnie Brady.

Ms Brady’s husband, Stephen, travelled to the pilgrimage town in central Bosnia last night after officials there confirmed the discovery at a site about 3km from where she had been staying.

Mr Brady said before he left Dublin Airport yesterday that the officials were 99% certain they had found his wife. “The only [means of] identification was rings and what she was wearing. When they mentioned the rings, those were the rings Winnie wore.”
