Murdered student found dead in holdall may have known her killer

Gardaí investigating the murder of Malawian student and former Sunday School teacher Rudo Mawere are exploring whether she knew her killer and if she died close to where her body was found.

Murdered student found dead in holdall may have known her killer

One possibility being examined is that the person who killed the 26-year-old business student abandoned the holdall containing Ms Mawere’s body in a moment of panic.

The bag, measuring just 2ft by 4ft, was left propped up against a car outside a house on a footpath on St David’s Terrace, just 100 metres away from the entrance of McKee Barracks on Blackhorse Avenue in Dublin.
