A man in his forties is expected before Cork District Court later this morning on charges relating to the death of a woman in the city last week.
Ms Jean Scanlon (33), originally from Dublin, was found dead at the bottom of the stairs in a house near Patrick's Hill early on Friday. A post-mortem revealed she died from multiple injuries.
The man was arrested yesterday afternoon and was being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act at Mayfield Garda Station in Cork.
