The details of the post mortem conducted on the woman found dead yesterday in Phoenix Park have been released by Gardaí.
After the discovery of the woman's body on Thursday, a coroner's examination has found she died as a result of internal trauma caused by multiple stab wounds to the upper body.
The deceased was 4' 10", of medium build, with short brown hair described as not quite shoulder length and aged in her late 30s to early 40s approximately.
She was wearing a green/grey fleece zip-up jacket, a rugby type top with red and blue stripes and three quarter length pink leggings. Her toenails were painted with gold nail varnish.
She also wore a Saint Anthony type gold chain necklace tied with a piece of string, a silver cross and chain necklace and gold hoop type earrings described as 'Creole Type'.
A white scarf and black zip-up jacket were also found nearby, as was a black ladies bicycle.
Investigating officers are appealing to two people who initially found the body to contact them.
Any person who was in the general area in the days leading up to this discovery or who may use the area and may have seen anything unusual or suspicious are asked to contact the Garda incident room at Cabra Garda Station 01-666 7400, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
