A man has been charged in connection with the murder of Paula Canty, whose body was discovered in Mallow, Cork, last week
Paula was just 31 when she was discovered with what looked like stab wounds. The police kicked off a murder investigation right after they got the post-mortem results. They quickly zeroed in on a suspect who was known to her.
On Tuesday, they arrested a man in his 40s. He was taken in for questioning and has now been charged. He’s set to appear in court later today, which is a big step in this case.
People in Cork have been sharing their condolences for Paula, who was just days away from her 32nd birthday. Friends described her as a lovely young lady and a devoted mum of two.
In her memory, a memorial fund has been started, raising over €2,400 for Cork’s Street Angels. This local group does amazing work helping those who are homeless, making sure they have food and warmth. It’s heartwarming to see the community come together like this.
