Man accused of murdering his wife in Wilton asks for case to be struck out

The man's solicitor said: 'This is a matter going on since July 16 when he was first brought to court. We cannot understand what the delay is in getting DPP directions.'

The 41-year-old man accused of murdering his wife at their home in Wilton has asked for the case against him to be struck out because directions are not yet available from the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Judge Mary Dorgan refused the application made by Regin Parithapara Rajan through his solicitor, Eddie Burke, at Cork District Court.
