Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa and Judismar Wesley Batista. 

The body of the man suspected of murdering a Brazilian woman in Limerick was found near Blackrock Castle, Co Cork. 

Gardaí launched a murder investigation into the death of Brazilian native Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa, aged 33, after her body was found at an apartment in the Carlton House complex on Cecil St at approximately 7.30am on Friday.

Investigating gardaí were keen to speak to Brazilian national Judismar Wesley Batista, who was known to the victim.

According to sources, a body found in Cork on Friday evening was Mr Batista.

It is understood he died by suicide.

Friends of Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa told the Irish Examiner she had been married to Judismar Wesley Batista for over a decade. 

Sources told the Irish Examiner that the young woman broke off their relationship a couple of months ago, but that Batista “was not accepting much” and hoped for “reconciliation”.

On Friday evening, siblings of the victim widely shared posts calling for Batista to be found. They later in the evening shared an update to say his body had been found.

Friends of Ms Pereira Rosa raised the alarm on Friday morning as they were due to meet her for work. 

The friends always met to go to work all together in the mornings, and when she didn't appear, they alerted gardaí at Henry St station, which is located near Cecil St.
