The “brutal and savage“ ******* is castling a shadow over the city this weekend.

At the heart of the community concern is, who was this woman and who ******* her?

The fact that the police can only estimate the woman’s age underlines the challenges detectives face as they try to identify the victim.

At this stage the police are unable to confirm what type of ******* was used.

The flat is part of a complex of flats on Harvey Street.

Alongside this, there has been a visible increased police presence in the area throughout the weekend.

The police now need help from the public to identify the victim and to find her *******.
