A man in his 30s has been remanded in custody, after being charged with the murder of a 30-year-old woman in Co Meath.
30 year old Iona Michaela Pacala was found dead at her home at River Walk Court in Ratoath, shortly after 6pm on Saturday.
Her partner, 33 year old Andrei Dobra, who was living at the same address, was arrested at the scene and was charged at Ashbourne Garda Station last night.
