The body of a Brazilian man was discovered near Blackrock Castle in County Cork, hours after he was suspected of murdering his wife, a Brazilian law graduate, in Limerick. Gardaí have confirmed the death of Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa, 33, who was found stabbed in her home in the Carlton House apartments on Friday morning. The suspect, identified as Judismar Wesley Batista, was known to the victim and is believed to have taken his own life after the attack.
Authorities are treating the incident as a murder-suicide following the discovery of Batista’s body on rocks near the castle. Preliminary reports suggest the couple had a history, with Batista previously in a relationship with Rosa. A vigil is planned for Rosa, described as a "beautiful and bubbly" woman, as the community mourns her death.
The case has sparked concern in the local area, with over €18,000 raised to repatriate Rosa’s remains. Gardaí have not yet released further details about the circumstances of the killing, but the swift discovery of the suspect’s body has led to speculation about the events that unfolded.
A formal investigation is ongoing, with authorities seeking to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the tragic outcome.
