Police are investigating if the bodies of an elderly couple lay dead in their house for over a year. The husband and wife, in their 70s, hadn’t been seen by neighbours in 18 months.
Detectives will have to wait for results of examinations to establish a time frame as to when the couple, from Cloneen, Tipperary died. A local source said: “The bodies could have been there for a long, long time.”
The Irish Mirror understands that they had not been seen for such a long time that some neighbours were under the impression they had moved from their house. But a local source said that suspicions arose in recent days and someone made gardai aware.
