Further tests due on woman's body

Further tests are due to be carried out today on the body of a woman found in a stream near Tralee in Co Kerry yesterday.

The body was discovered by a passer-by at Kearney's Bridge at around 11am yesterday. A post-mortem was carried out last night, but further tests are still needed to establish the cause of death.

Reports this morning named the dead woman as 30-year-old Elizabeth McCarthy, a settled Traveller and mother-of-three who lived in Tralee.

She had reportedly not been seen since attending a cousin's wedding in the town on Monday.
