Murder Investigation After Woman's Body Found In House Fire
Police have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of a 30-year-old woman's body in a house fire in the Lagmore area of Dunmurry on Sunday.
Jennifer Dornan's body was found at her home at Hazel View at around 5am.
She was a mother to three children all under nine years of age.
Detective Superintendent Kevin Geddes said: "Jennifer had been on a night out with friends at the Devenish complex on Finaghy Road North on Saturday night. They left at around 1.30am and went back to a friend's house close to her own home to continue socialising. At 3am she left her friend's house and walked the short distance home.
"I am appealing to anyone who saw Jennifer in the bar on Saturday night or Sunday morning or who saw her walking in the Hazel View area between 3 and 4am on Sunday morning to come forward.
"I also want to hear from anyone who saw other people walking in the area around this time, particularly in Hazel View.
"At around this time a small silver car is seen speeding away from Hazel View. This could be completely unconnected but we need the driver or any passengers to come forward.
"I would also appeal for anyone with any information about Jennifer or who knows anything about the events of Saturday night and Sunday morning to call us."
