These are the first pictures of the young mum who gardaí believe died giving birth to her baby girl.
Polish national Monika Kubasiewicz, who was 33, had only been living at their house in Carrick-on-Suir in Co Tipperary for a few months when she died early on Friday.
Her body and that of her newborn baby daughter were found by her devastated partner in a bathroom of their house at Blackthorn Close, Greenhill Village, at around 1 pm, but investigators believe they died several hours earlier.
A post-mortem on the young mum was carried out on Friday, and it is understood gardaí are satisfied there was no foul play in her death.
Officers also believe her newborn baby died during the birthing process, but are awaiting the results of a post-mortem that is set to take place later this week.
Gardai said in a statement: “Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of an incident at a domestic residence in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary this Friday afternoon 8th May 2026.
“A woman in her 30s and an infant were pronounced deceased at the scene. The scene remains preserved for examination.
“A post-mortem examination will take place, which will determine the course of the investigation.”
It is understood Ms Kubasiewicz had moved into the estate with her partner and their two small kids, aged just four and three, around three months ago.
They had previously lived and run a shop in Clonmel, also in Tipperary, but lost the business when Covid-19 struck in early 2020.
They then spent some time in emergency accommodation before moving to the property in Carrick-on-Suir.
Local Sinn Féin councillor David Dunne has appealed for people not to speculate about the tragedy.
He said on Facebook: “There has been a tragedy in Carrick-on-Suir. I would ask people not to speculate on what happened and not to share anything they are hearing or has been sent to them.”
Locals in the estate have been left shocked and devastated by the deaths. They said Ms Kubasiewicz was well-known in the area, and the family was popular.
