Man accused of 2008 murder of Romanian teen to face trial

A 33-year-old man charged with the murder of Romanian teenager Marioara Rostas, who went missing from Dublin in 2008, has been sent forward for trial to the Central Criminal Court.

The body of 18-year-old Marioara was discovered following an 13-day search in the Wicklow Mountains in January this year. Her semi-decomposed remains were discovered in a shallow grave at Kippure near Manor Kilbride.

An autopsy revealed that Marioara, who arrived in Dublin only three weeks before her disappearance, had been shot in the head.
