An inquest into the death of a mother who was stabbed to death before her house was set ablaze was adjourned yesterday pending an appeal by the man convicted of her murder.

A man charged with the murder of a mother of three in Cork last February has been remanded in custody for another month for service of the book of evidence.

Completion of the file in the case against a 36-year-old man charged with the murder of a mother of three in Passage West has been delayed to allow for the inclusion of documents related to his previous medical history.
