It is understood there was no relationship between the victim and the suspect, and they may not have even known each other.

Gardai are also appealing for witnesses to contact them.

They're asking road-users who were in the Brownsbarn Estate and Kingswood areas between 6 and 7am this morning to check if they have camera footage of the incident.

Anyone with any information should contact Clondalkin Garda Station on 01-666-7600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111 or any Garda station.
