Garda quiz two over African death

The 25-year-old's body was found in southern Ireland

Police in the Republic of Ireland are questioning two men arrested in Dublin in connection with the murder of the daughter of Malawi's chief justice.

The headless body of Paiche Unyolo Onyemaechi was found last month in the south of Ireland, where she lived with her Nigerian husband and two children.

Police have said they were looking at the possibility that her killing may have had a ritualistic motive.

Detectives have been keen to trace her husband, Chika, who is missing.

The two men being interviewed by police were arrested in Dublin on Tuesday.

They can be held for up to 72 hours without charge under the Offences Against The State Act.

Ms Unyolo Onyemaechi, 25, arrived in Ireland more than three years ago. Her body was found in County Kilkenny on 23 July and she was buried in Waterford a week later.

Her father, Malawi's Chief Justice Leonard Unyolo, travelled to Ireland after receiving news of her death.

He has taken his granchildren back to Malawi to be cared for by family members.
