Cork murder accused remanded in custody

A 25-year-old man appeared at Cork District Court charged with murdering his mother at the family home in Montenotte on Monday.

Paul Horgan, who sat beside a member of An Garda Síochána, and was accompanied by several members of the investigative team, was not required to speak during the brief hearing yesterday.

Mr Horgan, wearing black pants and an open-necked white shirt, sat quietly, staring at the floor at Courtroom 4 at the courthouse on Washington St in Cork.
