Gardaí involved in a murder inquiry following the death of a toddler in Cork City on Friday have established that the child was at a house party with her father and his partner just hours before her death. The adult female left with the child and returned to her apartment a few hundred yards away in the early hours of Friday morning. She was rushed to Cork University Hospital but was pronounced dead a few hours later. Mr Cawley, a father-of-three who has been living in Cork for several years, was a regular visitor to his partner’s apartment in Elderwood. The child’s mother lives on the northside of Cork City and gardaí are liaising with her as funeral arrangements have yet to be made.
