Ms Burns was found in what Gardaí say were unexplained circumstances - in her home in Ardshanavooley, Killarney on August the 15th last.

The grandmother, who was 75, was remembered as a ‘smiling’ and ‘stylish’ lady who was often seen cycling around the town.

One man was previously questioned in relation to her death but was later released without charge.
