A WOMAN appeared in court yesterday morning charged with the murder of her husband in Tallaght last Friday.
Paul Byrne, who was in his late 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene following a stabbing at a house in Páirc Gleann Trasna, in Aylesbury, Tallaght, last Friday evening. His body was removed to Tallaght hospital, where a postmortem was carried out.
The defendant, Tanya Doyle (36), Páirc Gleann Trasna, Tallaght, was brought before Dublin District Court yesterday morning and charged with murder.
Garda John O’Connell told Judge Ann Ryan that he arrested the defendant at 8.45pm last Friday. He said she was conveyed to Tallaght Garda station, where she was detained.
Garda O’Connell said Ms Doyle was released from detention at 12.45am on Sunday, and charged 45 minutes later.
The accused was cautioned and made no reply when charged, he told Judge Ryan. He also made an application for a one-week remand in custody.
Judge Ryan remanded Ms Doyle in custody to appear again at Dublin District Court on September 14th next.
She also consented to an application by solicitor Kevin Tunney to grant legal aid to Ms Doyle, who was dressed in grey trousers, a black sweater and a sleeveless short-sleeve blouse, and remained seated and silent during her court appearance yesterday morning.
