A GRANDMOTHER was killed by someone she knew when a row got out of hand, gardai fear.
Angela Canavan, who was in her 50s, was found dead at her Sligo home last week and yesterday a man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
A source said: “This was not a stranger attack. It is a tragic case.
“It was an argument between two people who knew each other and it escalated to the deceased being attacked. It is unlikely the other person intended to murder her.”
The suspect was brought to a Garda station last night where officers can quiz him for 24 hours before he must be released or charged.
Sources told the Irish Mirror detectives are satisfied Ms Canavan, who had suffered head injuries, knew her killer.
They also said they believed she let the culprit into the house in St John’s Terrace where she was allegedly attacked.
