Young couple found dead in woods

The bodies of a young couple were discovered in a wood in Co Leitrim today.

The man and the woman, both aged in their 20s, were found in the front seats of a car by a local farmer in Glenfarne, near Manorhamilton. He had previously spoken to the couple last Friday.

A Garda spokesman said the deaths were being treated as suspicious.

A local doctor pronounced the man and the woman dead at midday. Their bodies are being taken to Sligo General Hospital for a post mortem examination. Gardaí are taking the car to Sligo Garda Station for a technical examination.
