A pathologist was unable to determine a cause of death for Tina Satchwell (45) because of the skeletonised, badly decomposed and partly mummified condition of her remains which were excavated from underneath the stairs of her Cork home over six years after she vanished.

Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster told the Central Criminal Court murder trial of Richard Satchwell (58) that she performed a post mortem examination on Ms Satchwell's remains at the Cork University Hospital (CUH) morgue on October 12/13, 2023, after her body was fully excavated from a clandestine grave at her Youghal home.
