Gardai and UK ports have been put on alert by British Police in the hunt for a man with South East connections who is wanted following the death of his partner.
Murder detectives at West Midlands Police are leading the search for Michael Foran, after the body of 33-year-old June Jones was discovered on Monday.
Detectives believe 32 year old Mr Foran who has family links to Waterford, may have travelled to Liverpool to try and catch a ferry across the Irish Sea.
Ms Jones, who had been in a long-term relationship with Mr Foran, was found dead at her flat in West Bromwich on New Year’s Eve.
Police have recovered an item believed to have been used in the assault, which is currently undergoing forensic testing.
June Jones had been reported missing by her sister on St Stephen’s Day, and in a statement her family appealed directly to Michael Foran todo the right thing and hand himself in.
Police have now asked for the public’s help, but warned people not to approach the 32-year-old.
