Man Arrested Over Limerick Hotel Death

Gardaí investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a hotel room in Limerick at the weekend have arrested a 23-year-old man.

The body of 33-year-old Sylvia Roche Kelly from Sixmilebridge in Co. Clare was found lying face down in the bath in a room at the Clarion Hotel on Saturday morning.

A post-mortem failed to establish an exact cause of death, but did reveal that Ms Kelly had been violently assaulted before her death.

Police had appealed for a 23-year-old man from Co. Tipperary to contact them and it is understood that he was arrested in Tipperary on Tuesday night.

The funeral of Ms Roche Kelly is taking place in Sixmilebridge today.

Ms Roche Kelly was separated from her husband and had two children, a 12-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter.
