Woman’s remains exhumed as man linked to 1994 death

Almost 20 years after her body was found in an apartment in Dublin, a cold case investigation autopsy has been carried out on the remains of a Co Limerick woman.

The body of Margaret (Margo) Seery were exhumed from a family grave at St Mary’s Church Cemetery in Rathkeale and brought under Garda escort to University Hospital Limerick where the autopsy was performed by Dr Michael Curtis, the deputy state pathologist.

Dr Curtis, accompanied by a forensic anthropologist, spent over an hour inspecting the remains after the grave was opened. The body was then removed to the hospital.
