Bosnia body identified as that of missing Irish woman

The body of a woman found in The Bosnian village of Medjugorje earlier this week has been formally identified as that of Dublin woman Winnie Brady.

The 59-year-old disappeared last September while on pilgrimage in the area.

Her badly decomposed remains were discovered on a hill above the village on early this week.

Mrs Brady, from Raheny in Dublin, was last seen leaving her guesthouse after she declined to join her group in prayer.

A massive search was mounted, but she was never found.

Her husband, Stephen, travelled to Bosnia following this week's discovery formally identified items of her jewellery this morning.
