Gardaí are trying to establish if a Dublin mother had developed any new relationships before her murder.
The force has yet to identify a chief suspect for the violent death of Lisa Thompson.
The 52-year-old was stabbed up to 12 times at her home in Ballymun most likely last weekend.
Security and crime editor with The Irish Times, Conor Lally, says Gardaí are continuing their investigation today.
