A man is due to appear in court this morning charged with the murder of an 89-year-old woman in Nenagh, Co Tipperary.
Mr Hasan Ali Gori, who is currently serving a prison sentence, will appear before Nenagh District Court charged in connection with the death of Mrs Josephine Ray.
Mrs Ray was found deceased in the bedroom of her home at St Joseph’s Park, Nenagh, last April 2024.
Mr Gori, who had been in a relationship with Mrs Ray’s daughter Mary, was living with the family at the time of the pensioner’s death.
Following the discovery, Mr Gori was questioned by Gardaí and later released without charge pending further investigation. A file was subsequently prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions, leading to today’s charge.
The accused, who has no fixed address, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment last September for assaulting two members of An Garda Síochána. While in custody, he was involved in a series of violent incidents and was hospitalised in intensive care, following an assault, but has since recovered and returned to Portlaoise Prison.
In a statement, Gardaí confirm that a male in his 50s has been charged in relation to the investigation surrounding Mrs Ray’s death on the afternoon of Sunday, August 4th 2024. The accused is due to appear before Nenagh District Court this morning, Friday, October 17th 2025, at 10:30am.
