The Dundrum Garda Station in Ireland said in a press release that a murder investigation has been launched after an autopsy was performed.

The Irish police had later released a photograph of a person believed to have known the family. The person appeared at the police station and has now been put on 24-hour surveillance. Reports also said that Seema Banu was also a victim of assault in May this year and a case was registered with the Irish police. Media reported that the accused in the case was due to report before a court in April next year for the hearing in the case.

As per latest developments, Seema's family has made an appeal to the Indian embassy in Ireland and Irish authorities, to help them with the repatriation of the bodies.
