Former teacher Louise Muckell, who died in Limerick in 2022.

A man, in his 50s, who was arrested yesterday in connection with the fatal assault of Louise Muckell in Co Limerick last year, has been released without charge.

A file is being sent to the DPP and gardaí say investigations are ongoing.

Ms Muckell was found with serious injuries at a house in Cois Deel, in Rathkeale on July 19, 2022.

Paramedics rushed her to University Hospital Limerick, where she died the next day.

Ms Muckell was regarded as a “talented” music teacher who taught in the former Sisters of Mercy secondary school, Rathkeale, and had trained under the late Irish soprano Veronica Dunne.
