Gardaí will send a new file to the Director of Public Prosecutions in the coming weeks, in the case of a baby girl whose body was found in a laneway in Dun Laoghaire 32 years ago.

A woman claiming to be the mother of a baby girl discovered stabbed to death in a lane in Dun Laoghaire in 1973, today said she would not rest until she had justice for her child.

After the inquest into the unidentified baby girl was adjourned pending an end to the garda investigation, the woman, who was named as Cynthia Owen in court, said this had been extremely traumatic for herself and her family.
