Gardaí keep ‘open mind’ as man held over murder of Killorglin mother and daughter

Man may have withheld information about another Lithuanian, gardaí believe

Gardaí were yesterday continuing to question a 40-year-old man arrested on suspicion of withholding information regarding the murder of a mother and her daughter in Co Kerry earlier this month.

Gardaí believe the Lithuanian national may have information that may assist them in their investigation into the murders of Jolanta Lubiene (27) and her daughter Enrika (8) at their home at Langford Downs in Killorglin on June 15th. Sources said gardaí were keeping an open mind on the killings and had not narrowed their focus to any one suspect as they investigate people Ms Lubiene may have met through a dating website.

The organisers of a fundraising drive for the family have expressed confidence they will raise money to pay for the repatriation of the bodies to Lithuania.
