DNA samples from a relative had to be used to help formally identify a woman who suffered a violent death in her home on Dublin’s northside earlier this year, an inquest has heard.
The body of Maud Coffey, 41, was discovered in her apartment in the Horizon Building, Royal Canal Park, Ashtown, Dublin 15 on January 13, 2023.
A preliminary hearing of the inquest into her death at Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Wednesday heard post-mortem results showed Ms Coffey died as a result of a combination of asphyxia from a ligature around her neck and blunt force injuries and wounds inflicted with a sharp object.
