Fundraiser for family of woman who died in Limerick

A fundraising campaign is under way in Limerick to help the family of 33-year-old Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa with repatriation and funeral costs.

Ms Pereira Rosa, a law graduate from Brazil, was found dead at an apartment on Lower Cecil Street on Friday morning.

It is understood that Ms Pereira Rosa was working with a cleaning company in Limerick and had many friends in the area. She has been described by those who knew her as kind and bubbly.

Gardaí have launched a murder investigation and say they are following a line of inquiry.

Her body was removed from the scene to the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick, where a post-mortem examination was carried out by the State Pathologist.

Gardaí said the results of the post-mortem examination are not being released for operational reasons.

A Garda Family Liaison Officer has been assigned to support Ms Pereira Rosa's family.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Henry Street Garda Station on 061 212400.
