Gardaí quiz more than 50 people in murder probe

GARDAÍ investigating the death of a mother-of-three have interviewed more than 50 people and expect it will take at least a month before they have completed a file for the DPP.

The body of 57-year-old Catherine Smart was found at 9.45am last Sunday in her terraced home at Bailick Court, Midleton.

Following the grim discovery a team of more than 20 gardaí have been working on the investigation, including detectives who have been drafted in from the Garda Cork North Division headquarters in Fermoy.
