A man and a woman have been arrested in relation to the murder of a Ballymun mum-of-two.
Lisa Thompson was discovered with stab wounds at her home in Sandyhill Gardens on May 10. The duo, both in their 30s, were arrested by gardai earlier today.
They are both detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at separate Dublin Garda Stations. At her funeral on May 23, Lisa was described as a “friendly, caring person who had dreams for her future”.
Parish priest, Fr Declan Burke, said: “Lisa did believe in fairness and justice, she was that type of person.” In a poignant speech, he said that the entire community are in shock and are searching for answers. He assured Lisa’s children Kyle and Brook were reminded that their mother loved them and was very proud of them.
He said: “Life is precious. Human life is sacred. The taking of any human life is very very wrong. “We trust and believe now that Lisa is now in the hands of God. She’s at total peace and will always be with us.”
