Murder charge duo remanded in custody

THERE was a strong Garda presence outside a court in West Cork as a man and woman charged with murder were further remanded in custody.

A crowd of up to 80 people gathered outside Bandon District Court to watch as Catherine O’Connor and Ciprian Grozavu were brought before Judge James McNulty.

O’Connor, aged 35, originally from Kinsale, and Romanian national Mr Grozavu, who both have addresses at Bandon Bridge House, were charged at a special court sitting last Tuesday with the murder of Jonathan Duke, 27, at Bandon Bridge House last weekend.
