A 51 year old man has been further remanded in custody after being charged with the murder of his mother in Kerry.

Billy Burns, of Arlington Lodge, Church Street, Tralee, appeared in court again this morning.

He is charged with murdering 75 year old Miriam Burns at her home at 45 Ardshanavooly, Killarney, on a date between August 12th and August 15th 2022.

It follows his arrest and charge yesterday for the murder of his mother.

Miriam Burns - a mother of four and grandmother - was found dead at her home in Killarney on August 15th last, after what gardaí described as a violent death.

She was discovered after a relative, based abroad, became concerned for her welfare, and asked a neighbour to check in.

Yesterday, Killarney District Court heard the DPP was directing prosecution on indictment before the Central Criminal Court.

Gardaí told Tralee District Court today a book of evidence should be ready in two weeks' time.

Judge David Waters further remanded Mr Burns in custody to appear at Tralee Courthouse on March 22nd - in person, if a book of evidence is ready - if not, he'll appear via videolink.
