Gardaí have confirmed that they are investigating all the circumstances following the discovery of two bodies in Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry, today, Tuesday, February 4.

The bodies of a man and a woman, both believed to be in their 50s, were discovered at a domestic residence earlier on Tuesday.

The scene remains preserved at this time and an examination by the Garda Technical Bureau will take place today.

The Coroner and the office of the State Pathologist have been notified.

The two bodies currently remain at the scene, pending preliminary technical examination, and will be removed for a post-mortem examination, which will take place in due course.

Results of the post-mortem will determine the exact course of the Garda investigation.  

Gardaí added that early indications suggest both bodies were undiscovered for a period of time, since late 2024.

According to The Kerryman newspaper, the residence is on the Ring of Kerry Road in Mountain Stage in Glenbeigh, Co Kerry. 

Neighbors described the couple to The Kerryman as reclusive; they would be seen walking around a local loop from time to time.

According to The Kerryman, Gardaí were alerted to the scene early on Tuesday morning and are carrying out door-to-door enquiries to try to piece together exactly what led to the deaths.
