Garda\u00ed are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the bodies of a woman and a newly born baby at a house in Co Tipperary this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The bodies were discovered by a man who went to the house in an estate in Carrick-on-Suir at around lunchtime.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed and emergency services were alerted and are at the scene, which has been preserved pending the arrival of the state pathologist.<\/p>\n
It is understood the woman may be the mother of the infant, who appears to have been newly born.<\/p>\n
Detectives are keeping an open mind in the case and say they are following all lines of inquiry.<\/p>\n
However it is understood that at this stage they are treating the case as a personal tragedy and handling it in “a sensitive manner”.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed are establishing an incident room and will appoint a family liaison officer.<\/p>\n
They are also seeking to contact relatives and will speak to neighbours and family members in connection with the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garda\u00ed are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the bodies of a woman and a newly born…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-438941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
