A man (29) has been further remanded in custody after he made his second appearance in connection with the murder of his partner at the home they shared in Co Cork.
Adam Corcoran had been charged on Sunday with the murder of Daena Walsh (27) at their home at John Barry House, Connolly Street, Midleton, on August 2nd.
A mother of two, Ms Walsh was found unresponsive with a number of injuries by the emergency services after they were alerted to a fire at the upstairs apartment in the east Cork town.
On Tuesday, Mr Corcoran, a native of Ballincollig, appeared by video link before Judge Marie Keane at a vacation sitting of Mallow District Court in relation to the charge.
