  • Confirm the victim's correct age: extra.ie, irishtimes.com, and rte.ie describe her as 'in her 30s' or 'aged 30'; thejournal.ie states 'Annmarie O'Reilly (39)'. Which is accurate per official Victoria Police statement or court records?
  • Confirm the victim's parental status and number of children: extra.ie (via brother's tribute) indicates she was a mother but does not specify how many children; thejournal.ie states she was 'mother of three'. Which is correct?
  • Confirm the victim's county/regional connections in Ireland: irishtimes.com states 'family ties to Co Kilkenny and Co Tipperary'; extra.ie states 'originally from Co Tipperary'; thejournal.ie states 'originally from Clonmel in County Tipperary'. Are these consistent or contradictory?
