Man charged with murder of 81-year-old woman in Dundalk
A 47-year-old man has appeared before Dundalk District Court this afternoon charged with the murder of 81-year-old Pat Muckian.
Nicholas Muckian with an address at Glenwood, Dundalk was originally charged with assaulting three women causing them harm, at the same location, in Glenwood on Friday 3 May, and with unlawfully intimidating another person with a hatchet.
Garda Kate Brady of Dundalk Garda Station gave evidence that she further charged the accused at 10.50am this morning.
State Solicitor for County Louth Fergus Mullen, who appeared on behalf of the DPP, said in relation to the new charge of murder, the Section 3 assault charge in relation to Pat Muckian could be withdrawn.
He added that it was expected that the book of evidence would be served within a month.
Judge Mark O’Connell remanded Mr Muckian in custody for a week.
The Defence solicitor Aimee McCumiskey asked that legal aid be extended to the new charge, and said her client’s preference was to be produced next week rather than appear by videolink.
