Mother of one held after partner shot

A MOTHER OF ONE has been arrested over the shooting dead of her partner in north Cork on Monday night.

The woman, named by neighbours as Eve Walker, was arrested a short time after Charlie Wrench, originally from England, was blasted with a shotgun in the upper body or head in an upstairs bedroom of his home in Dromiscane, outside Millstreet.

Gardaí were called to the two-storey house in the rural area four miles from Millstreet, at around 9.45pm on Monday.
