DPP to get file on death of young mother

Gardaí were yesterday due to send a file to the DPP in relation to the case of a young mother found dead in her apartment last April.

Danny Whelan, aged 25, of no fixed abode but formerly of Thomas St in Waterford City and originally from Thurles, Co Tipperary, made his third appearance before the district court in Waterford yesterday since being charged with the murder of Samantha Walsh.

Inspector Anthony Dineen told the court a file is ready to be sent to the DPP as he sought a further remand in custody for a month.
