Gardai in Limerick are waiting for post mortems to confirm whether the bodies of two people found in a house this morning are that of an alleged fraudster grandmother and a local farmer.
63 year old Julia Holmes, from Co Down, who is currently at the centre of a worldwide police hunt, had recently been traced to Boolaglass, Askeaton, Co Limerick, where the bodies were discovered this morning.
According to Gardai she is wanted by the FBI, the PSNI and the Gardai for alleged fraud.
The badly decomposing bodies were found in the upstairs bedroom of the house at around 3 o'clock this morning following a tip off.
Mr Holmes and the owner of the house - named locally as Thomas Ruttle have not been seen for the past few weeks.
It's understood a gun was found in the bedroom but Gardai say they can not confirm how the pair died.
