Death of Dublin mother being treated as a domestic incident

The death of a Dublin woman is being treated as a domestic incident by Gardaí.

Amanda Carroll was discovered dead yesterday afternoon in her apartment in Homestead Court, Cabra. The 33-year-old had suffered marks to her head and neck that were consistent with a violent attack. Carroll has two children - a five-year-old and a 16-year-old. RTE reports that a 35-year-old man is being questioned by Gardaí in relation to Carroll's death. The man received a rest period overnight meaning that he can be detained for a longer period of time. Gardaí believe that the mother-of-two was attacked by somebody known to her. A postmortem examination is underway to determine the cause of death.
