Severed Arm Belonged To Convicted Rapist

Gardaí have confirmed that a severed limb found on a beach in Dublin, belongs to a convicted rapist.

Last month, the arm was discovered on Dollymount strand but was only identified as belonging to James Nolan, 46, yesterday.

Gardaí are now investigating the last known movements of Nolan.

The Finglas man has not been seen since being released from Portlaoise Prison last November.
