Good morning, Jonathan.

So this is a really tragic case.

So it centres around a young mother of two, Masooma Sarabi.

She has two young children aged seven and nine.

She was 31 years old.

She was originally from Iran.

And basically her body was discovered by a river near the Waterloo House IPAS accommodation centre, which is just on the outskirts of Clifton in County Galway.

Her body was very sadly discovered before 9 a.m.

yesterday.

It appears that she suffered fatal stab wounds, particularly to her neck area.

And a man in his 30s was actually arrested around that time yesterday morning.

And he is currently still, I believe, receiving medical treatment in hospital before he can be questioned.

So a post-mortem is due to take place later this morning on Miss Sarabi's body.

And Gardaí said that the results of that will assist in determining the course of what they said is

an ongoing investigation.

So like basically Miss Sarabi, she had been living, she had moved over from Iran and had been living in the Clifton, in this accommodation centre outside Clifton since 2024.

But she went missing from that accommodation centre on Wednesday evening and she was reported missing.

A search had begun for her.

But then on the Thursday morning, a man who was known to Miss Sarabi

he was basically seen at this eyepass centre with visible wounds, particularly visible wounds around his neck.
