Gardai investigating the murder of 75-year-old Miriam Burns at her home in Killarney, Co Kerry, on Monday are now looking into whether the mum-of-four could have been the target of several threats before her death.
Forensic officers have been searching land near an old Killarney wishing well after a man in his 50s was arrested in connection with the killing, according to the Irish Independent.
Officers and detectives were seen conducting a detailed search in the area on Wednesday morning.
