Body parts have been found in a burnt out car in north Dublin.
Gardai are currently at the scene this morning just off Clonliffe Avenue in Drumcondra.
The car was found in the early hours of this morning, when the grim discovery was made.
An investigation has been launched and work is underway this morning to identify the remains.
According to reports, gardai believe that the discovery is linked to the disappearance of a teenager in Co Louth on Sunday night.
Earlier this week, human limbs were found dumped in a sports bag in a north Dublin housing estate.
The gruesome discovery was made by youths at Moatview Gardens in Coolock at 10pm on Monday night.
There are fears that the limbs could belong to the missing 17-year-old who has not been seen in several days.
A garda spokeswoman said: "Gardaí are currently at the scene of a burnt out vehicle that was located on Trinity Terrace, off Clonliffe Avenue, Drumcondra, Dublin 3 in the early hours of this morning, Wednesday 15th January, 2020.
"Partial body remains have been located in this burnt out vehicle and due to the nature of the incident it will be some time before proper identification can be confirmed.
"The Garda Technical Bureau have been notified and the Office of the State Pathologist and the Coroner have been notified. The assistance of Forensic Science Ireland will also be sought.
"Investigations ongoing and no further comment will be made at this time."
