A woman whose body was found in her home had been strangled and stabbed, an inquest heard yesterday.
A murder inquiry was launched after Lisa Thompson’s remains were discovered at Sandyhill Gardens in Ballymun on May 10. The city’s district coroner’s court was told by the coroner Aisling Gannon a postmortem showed she died as a result of “ligature strangulation and multiple stab wounds”.
The deceased’s sister Ashley Duckett identified her late sister’s body at Dublin City Morgue. Ms Thompson, a mother of two and a former youth worker, lived on her own. She was last seen alive two days before a neighbour raised the alarm.
