Deaths of Woman and Man Treated as Murder-Suicide

A repatriation fund has raised over €25,000 as investigators say no one else is being sought in the case.

  • On Friday, August 21, 2026, Gardaí launched a murder investigation after discovering Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa, a 33-year-old Brazilian woman, dead in her Limerick apartment; authorities are now treating the case as a murder-suicide.
  • Judismar Wesley Batista, the victim's husband and prime suspect, fled to Cork on Friday and was found dead near Blackrock Castle that evening; Gardaí believe he died by suicide.
  • Friends raised the alarm Friday morning after Rosa failed to meet them outside her Carlton House apartment, and Gardaí subsequently discovered her body showing evidence of fatal stab wounds inside the residence.
  • A GoFundMe campaign to repatriate Rosa's remains to Brazil has raised over €25,000, with friends stating funds will help provide a "dignified farewell" for the law graduate in her home country.
  • Officials at Henry Street Garda Station continue investigating the circumstances of the death and request anyone with information contact them on 212400; support resources remain available for those impacted by the tragedy.
