Forensic tests continue in brick murder probe

CRUCIAL forensic examinations are continuing into the murder of mother-of-one Celine Cawley, with detectives believing there is still a long way to go in the investigation.

Garda tests on the surrounding garden area where the 46-year-old was bludgeoned to death in her Howth home were still under way yesterday.

The examination of DNA swabs from the film executive’s body are thought to be essential to the inquiry. However, reports that hair samples from her killer were found in Ms Cawley’s hand were not confirmed by gardaí last night.
