A man and woman have been arrested in connection with the murder of Lisa Thompson.
Both persons, aged in their 30s, were arrested on Monday and have been detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at separate Dublin Garda Stations.
Ms Thompson was found dead on May 10 at her home in Sandygill Gardens, Ballymun, Dublin 11.
Gardai believe the mother of two may have been dead for several days prior to the discovery of her body.
The 52-year-old was the victim of a “serious physical assault and had suffered significant injuries”.
Gardai were alerted to the scene after a local called Dublin Fire Brigade for an ambulance, and on arrival, officers discovered the former youth worker dead in her home with 12 serious stab wounds.
