There were emotional scenes at Belfast Magistrate's Court as a 22-year-old man appeared charged with the murder of his girlfriend.
Ms Julie-Ann Osborne (22), who had a 19-month daughter, was found dead with multiple stab wounds in her Shankill Terrace home in west Belfast on December 27th. Mr Andrew Robinson, who lives at the same address, wept during his court appearance.
Mr Robinson's defence said his client would be denying any involvement in the death. Mr Robinson was remanded in custody until Monday.
