New Investigation Launched After Discovery Of Another Human Limb
Gardai are investigating the latest discovery of human remains on a beach in south Dublin.
They confirmed that what is believed to be the remains of a right arm was discovered by gardai on patrol at Shankhill beach around midday yesterday.
The remains were taken to the city morgue in Marino for forensic examination.
Gardai said it was too early to tell whether the limb was related to the discovery of a human leg that washed up on Dollymount Strand on Bull Island off Clontarf, north Dublin, on October 19.
A walker found the limb shortly before 9am and it is believed to belong to a woman. It was the second limb found on Dollymount Strand over the past two years, with a man's arm found on the beach in February 2011.
DNA tests later confirmed that that arm belonged to convicted rapist James Nolan (46) from Finglas in Dublin, who had not been seen since being released from Portlaoise prison the previous November.
Meanwhile, Dublin Coast Guard conducted a search of the beach from Killiney to Bray following yesterday's gruesome discovery.
However, the search failed to turn up any additional remains.
