Funeral details of Irish fashion designer found dead in New York to be announced this week
The funeral details of Carlow woman Martha Nolan O'Slatarra, who was found dead on a boat at Montauk Yacht Club in New York's Hamptons, are to be announced later this week. The 33-year-old entrepreneur from Monacurragh, Co Carlow, worked in Ireland until 2015 before emigrating to the US. She set up her own brand, East x East, a luxury brand for sunglasses, swimwear, and resort wear for men and women. She was also the director of operations at investment firm K4 Capital and ran a fashion brand called Duper. She kept in contact with her many Carlow-based friends, while a Bagenalsown-based family who moved to the US helped her set up her business in Montauk. Ms Nolan O'Slatarra was found dead on board a boat that was docked at a yacht club on Long Island in New York in the early hours of last Tuesday. A man found Ms Nolan-O'Slatarra unconscious on the boat at Montauk Yacht Club at 12am local time and shouted for help. It is believed that two men on a nearby boat performed CPR, but the businesswoman was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services. Inconclusive autopsy results A post-mortem has been carried out by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office, which showed there were no visible signs of injury. Authorities said the autopsy results were inconclusive and are awaiting further test results to decide the direction of their investigation. A police investigation into her death is being carried out by Suffolk County police detectives. Her funeral details on the death notice website read that she passed away 'unexpectedly,' on August 5. The notice described her as 'beloved' and 'adored'. She was the 'beloved daughter of Elma, much-loved sister of Jacqui, treasured granddaughter of Betty and Liam, cherished niece of John, Michelle, Barry and Mona and adored partner of Nick," it said. The notice adds: 'She will be sadly missed by her loving mother and her mother's partner Patrick, sister, aunts, uncles, partner, her father Seamus, grandparents, extended family, relatives and her large circle of friends in Ireland and the US. Funeral arrangements will be published later in the week.' One sympathiser wrote on that her death 'is dreadful and shocking news for you and all of us". It added: "A beautiful and stunning looking young woman with a head on her shoulders. May Martha have a smooth passage home to her final resting place and rest peacefully, sympathy to you all.' The Department of Foreign Affairs has said it is aware of the case and is providing consular assistance.

Derek Boyd was arrested earlier this week and will face several other charges A 30-year-old man is to appear in court again on Tuesday after he was charged with murder at a late-night special sitting of Dublin District Court. Derek Boyd, of Scribblestown Place, Finglas, is accused of the murder of Mark Carroll (34) at that location on June 9 last year. In January, an adjourned inquest into Mr Carroll's death was told that he had died from a stab wound. The incident happened at about 1am. The father of four from Finglas was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, but was pronounced dead a short time later. Mr Boyd was remanded in custody when he appeared before Judge Áine Clancy at Dublin District Court on Tuesday night and is due to appear before Cloverhill District Court by video link next Tuesday morning. Mark Carroll was stabbed to death last year News in 90 Seconds - Aug 9th Evidence of arrest, charge and caution was given by Detective Sergeant Niall Murray, who told the court that Mr Boyd made no reply when the murder charge was put to him at Finglas garda station at 7pm on Tuesday. He was also charged with three separate offences. He was charged with assaulting a named man at Barry Road, Finglas, on April 17 last year, as well as being intoxicated in a public place – Barry Drive in Finglas – the following day.
