A MAN HAS been arrested in connection to the murder of a 43-year-old mother in Dundalk in 2005.
Irene White was murdered at her home – known as Ice House – on 6 April that year.
She was found with multiple stab wounds by her elderly mother.
This morning, gardaí arrested a man in his 30s in the Co Monaghan area in connection with an ongoing investigation into the murder of Irene White.
He is currently detained at Dundalk Garda Station under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
On the day of her murder, White left her home at around 8.50am and dropped her three children off to school for 9am. She then returned to her home where she began washing up after breakfast.
Her mother, who lived at the back of the property, called to the house at 12.30pm where she found her daughter lying dead in the kitchen.
A Crimecall special into the murder was aired in November of last year.
Can’t believe this was 2005! Hopefully some justice after all this time!
Better late then never for her family. If the guy is the one.
I have thought of her and her family often over the past 11years as I frequently pass the site where she was murdered. I hope her family finally get closure.
Justice at last
@Paul Corrigan: that’s jumping the gun, Wait till somebody is behind bars
Exactly: There have been a few arrests over the years..
@Joe o hear , the gun would be to easy and to quick
I have thought about this murder over the years. The poor woman returning from the school run! Washing the breakast dishes! And then stabbed in the back and left to die all alone!! Never knowing what hit her!! I find that so tragic!! Then her poor mother found her on the kitchen floor!! So traumatic!!! It takes a very sick individual to stab a defenceless woman in the back!! In one way I wish there was a hell!! Then I would hope this sick and twisted excuse for a human would rot there for all eternity!!!
have your say
