Gardai from
Ballyshannon Garda station are investigating the
death of a 15 year old female in Ballintra.
The girl's body was found at a flat at Main Street,
Ballintra, shortly before midnight on Sunday. Her
body was removed to Letterkenny Hospital pending a
post mortem investigation by the state pathologist
today.
The deceased is from the Belfast area but her name
will not be released until all relatives have been
informed. The scene at Ballintra was preserved for a
technical examination.
Also in the county at the weekend, a 12-year-old
girl was rescued from the sea off the coast of
Bundoran.
She was on board a rubber raft yesterday which
drifted out to sea. Attempts by her mother to get
her back ashore were unsuccessful.
The raft was almost 1km from shore when the
Sligo-based coastguard helicopter and the local
lifeboat reached the child and plucked her to
safety. |
