A woman is due in court today in connection the death of a father-of-two in Dublin in 1988.

Christopher Payne (36) was attacked by a gang of teenagers at his home in Rutland Grove, Crumlin and died six months later in hospital of head injuries.

The incident became one of a number of cases to be investigated by the Garda Serious Crime Review Team (SCRT).

Last night, Gardaí said they had arrested a 57-year-old woman in England on foot of a European warrant. She is due to appear at the Courts of Criminal Justice today.
