A woman has been found strangled to death in her own home after returning from Hogmanay celebrations. Bruna Fonseca, 28, was attacked shortly after returning to her Cork, Ireland, apartment following a night out celebrating the New Year.
Authorities were called to the house at around 6.30 am on Sunday, 31, December, to reports of an unresponsive woman. Police have described the death as 'suspicious' but sources say they are treating the death of the Brazilian national as murder.
Fonseca, who was a qualified librarian only moved to Ireland in September to start a new life. Images posted on social media on the night show she was out celebrating New Year with friends shortly before she was killed.
