Man admitted murder before killing himself

The boyfriend of Malawian student Rudo Mawere, whose body was found in a suitcase on a Dublin street, admitted to murder before taking his own life, an inquest heard yesterday.

Jason Dube made the admission in a suicide note found by Kent police when his body was found, three days after Ms Mawere’s body was discovered at St David’s Terrace, Blackhorse Avenue in Dublin, on January 29, this year.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard that Ms Mawere, 26, who had been living in a flat on the Leinster Road in Rathmines, had been seeing Jason Dube for several months before her death but flatmate Charity Namalele said she was unhappy.
