A Tipperary community was left in shock last Monday after an elderly couple was found dead in their home.
Officers discovered the bodies of Nicholas Smith, 81, and his wife Hilary, 79, after a man who lived nearby altered them as he became concerned at the house's unkempt nature and the fact that the couple's car had not been moved for over 12 months.
The couple is suspected to have been lying dead in the home for up to 18 months as locals in the rural area of Cloneen believed the couple had moved to France during the pandemic.
