Punish heinous crimes severely

The following is an editorial regarding the killing of Marioara Rostas published in the ‘Garda Review’

THE body of Marioara Rostas was discovered in a shallow grave in a mountainous area near Manor Kilbride, Co Wicklow, after a search operation by a garda team in January.

Marioara Rostas was a defenceless young woman who was 18 years of age when she was abducted in Dublin’s south inner city in 2008. She was brutalised and murdered in a most heinous crime that has shocked all of the gardaí involved in the subsequent investigation and search operation.
