Gardaí investigating the death of a woman whose body was found on farmlands in County Roscommon earlier his week have issued an appeal for information about the movements of a car.

The body of the woman - named locally as 58-year-old Mirjana Pap - was discovered in a remote area at Curraghaleen, around 10km outside Athlone on Monday afternoon. She was last seen in the town in the early hours of Saturday and was the subject of a missing person appeal over the weekend.
