GARDAÍ yesterday said serious injuries on a woman found dead in Athlone last Friday were not self inflicted.

The senior officer leading the investigation said they were looking to track down people who were with Lily Scanlon at her Westmeath home in the 11 hours before her body was discovered.

Superintendent Aidan Glacken said: “The injuries on Lily’s body are unexplained. We believe they are not self inflicted.”
