GARDAÍ have released updated facial reconstruction images in a bid to identify a woman whose remains were discovered in Co. Cork more than five years ago.

The body was discovered by workers at a construction site on the Midleton to Youghal Greenway, just off the Shanty Path at Roxborough, Midleton on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.

Gardaí previously shared facial reconstruction images by forensic artist Dr Michelle Vitali and have now released updated images after the case was featured on RTÉ's Crimecall this week.

Illegal dumping ground

The remains were discovered after workers from Cork County Council were clearing an area just off the railway that had been used as an illegal dumping ground for a number of years.

The area was not accessible as a walkway and it was overgrown with shrubbery, trees and weeds.
