Keith Lee, who was accused of murdering his wife Joanne Lee and leaving her body inside a wardrobe for days, has been found dead inside his cell at Mountjoy Prison earlier today.
Officers suspect no foul play in the incident.
Joanne Lee was tragically found dead at her house in Ranelagh, Dublin, in February last. Her body had been stuffed inside a sleeping bag and concealed inside a wardrobe. A post-mortem analysis concluded that she had been strangled.
