Kerry victims had planned to return to Lithuania

A 27-year-old woman found murdered in her rented home in Killorglin, Co Kerry, had been looking forward to returning permanently to her native Lithuania in the coming weeks.

Jolanta Lubiene is believed to have purchased travel tickets for herself and daughter, Enrika, 8, and had also made arrangements to sell her modified Honda Civic.

The reason she was returning home was to be with her father, Rimantas Santa, who is seriously ill with liver cancer, and her mother, Ramote, close friends disclosed.
