GARDAÍ issued a renewed appeal for information around the murder of a woman who used to work in Limerick, 20 years after her body was first found.
The decapitated body of Paiche Unyolo Onyemaechi was found in a field in Piltown, County Kilkenny, on July 23, 2004, after she was reported missing by her husband.
The 25-year-old from Malawi was living in St Herblain Park, Kilcohan, Waterford, at the time of her death, and had been last seen in Pickardstown, Waterford, on July 8.
At times, she also used the first names ‘Gina’ or ‘Cassandra’ and the last name ‘Willis’. Paiche worked in Limerick, and is also believed to have worked at different locations nationwide.
No one has ever been brought to justice for Paiche’s murder and Gardaí are hoping that the passage of time may have changed people’s loyalties and that people will now be in a position to come forward with any information that may aid the investigation.
“With the passage of time, there may now be people in a position to come forward to Gardaí. Any new information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, will be welcomed by the investigation team. This information will be treated in the strictest confidence,” a statement from An Garda Síochána said.
Gardaí are appealing for anyone with any information useful to the investigation to contact Tramore Garda Station on 051 391 620 or any Garda station.
Anyone who wishes to provide information confidentially should contact the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
