A 24-year-old woman appeared before a special sitting of Clonmel District Court yesterday charged in connection with the death of a man in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, at the weekend.
Ms Karolina Kovacova, with an address at O’Callaghan’s Lane, Carrick-on-Suir, stands accused of the murder of Mr Pavel Javorski.
Gardaí and emergency services had been called to an apartment on O’Callaghan’s Lane on Saturday night, where Mr Javorski was found unresponsive. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
The victim Mr Javorski, aged in his 40s was a native of the Czech Republic, who had been living in Ireland for some 20 years.
A postmortem examination is understood to have confirmed that he died as a result of a violent assault.
Ms Kovacova, who is also from the Czech Republic and is understood to have been living in Ireland for a number of months.
Detective Garda Ruairí Ryan informed the court that Ms Kovacova made no reply when the charge was put to her.
Defence solicitor Mr Aidan Leahy told the court that prison would be a difficult environment for his client as she has very limited English, and he requested that she receive whatever assistance was currently available.
Judge Mr John O’Leary remanded Ms Kovacova in custody and recommended to the prison governor that her vulnerability be taken into account.
She is due to appear before the court again today.
