The scene at Cois Deel, Rathkeale, was preserved and a technical examination conducted.
The results of a post-mortem examination by Dr Margaret Bolster, state pathologist, determined the course of the garda investigation.
Ms Muckell was regarded as a “talented” music teacher who taught in the former Sisters of Mercy secondary school in Rathkeale and had trained under the late Irish soprano Veronica Dunne.
