Gardaí have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of a woman's body in County Cavan.
The woman, in her 50s, was found at a house in a rural area near Ballyconnell at about 9.30 last night - and pronounced dead at the scene.
A man in his 60s was rushed to Cavan General Hospital, where he remains in a serious, but stable condition.
Gardaí have since arrested a man in his 30s at a separate location, and upgraded the investigation to murder.
He has been taken to a Garda station in County Cavan, where he can be held for up to 24 hours.
Anyone who travelled in the area of Kilnavert, Ballyconnell, between 8.30 and 9.30 last night is asked to provide Gardaí with any available camera footage.
