Discovery of Rudo Mawere's body
On the morning of 29 January 2012 a woman's body was discovered in a large holdall bag in front of a house on Saint David's Terrace, a short distance from Blackhorse Avenue and McKee Barracks. The scene was sealed off and the State Pathologist was alerted. It was believed her body was deliberately dumped near bins in the hope it would be collected as rubbish. Later that day the Gardaí identified the woman as a Malawian student who was in her 20s and had died by asphyxiation, but would not officially name the victim until her relatives have been informed. Two days later the victim was identified as 26 year old care worker Rudo Mawere who had been living on Leinster Road, Rathmines. That same day Gardaí searched a house in Aughrim Street, Stoneybatter, a short distance away, where her boyfriend lived and which had been linked in connection with her murder. On 1 February 2012 the main suspect in her murder, a Zimbabwean national, was found dead in a Kent wood by a dog walker. It was believed the man left the country through Northern Ireland and had travelled onwards by ferry to Britain.
