A post mortem is due to be carried out on a body found in Dublin as part of the search for Jastine Valdez.

The 24 year old was reported missing on Saturday after a woman was seen being bundled into a car in Co.Wicklow. 

A suspect in the case was shot dead by gardaí on Sunday evening.

Mark Hennessy,was stopped in a car at Cherrywood in south Dublin and is believed to have been armed with a knife. 

A note was found in the Nissan Qashqai car and is now being examined.

Flowers have been left at the scene where the body was found on Monday evening in the Rathmichael area of South Dublin.

Gardaí are also renewing their appeal for help in the case.

They would like to speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious over the weekend in the area of Pucks Castle Lane and Murphy's Lane - or anyone using the Carrickgollogan Forest Recreation Area or the Lead Mines in Kiltiernan.

They are particularly asking any hillwalkers, cyclists or drivers who used the area.
