Strangled woman student, 26, found in suitcase with plastic bag over her head by walker near Dublin park

A murder hunt is under way after the body of a woman was found in a suitcase yesterday.

The grisly discovery was made by an unwitting walker who came across the bag that had been left close to the Phoenix Park.

The victim, who was originally from Malawi, had been living here for the past two years in Rathmines, on Dublin's southside.

The 26-year-old had been studying here, garda sources said. Last night, it emerged that her fully clothed body was found with a plastic bag over the head. She had been strangled.
