extra.ieHere’s what I can share based on recent reporting:
- Scarlett Faulkner, a 29-year-old from Limerick, was critically injured in an assault near Birdhill, County Tipperary, on March 21, 2026, and later died from those injuries (reported updates around April 2026).[2][3]
- Following the attack, two suspects—a 16-year-old girl and a 40-something woman—were charged or detained in connection with the case, with ongoing court appearances and case developments in late March to April 2026.[4][6][2]
- News coverage has noted that the case drew significant public attention in Ireland, with scenes and updates shared by family and local media.[5][2]
If you’d like, I can compile a brief timeline of key developments from these sources or search for the latest official court updates and statements to confirm current status. Would you prefer a concise timeline or a current-status roundup?
