Man charged with murdering woman in Fermanagh
A MAN has appeared in court charged with the murder of a woman at her Fermanagh home.
The body of 59-year-old Pauline Kilkenny was found on Tuesday at the property close to Enniskillen.
Concerns had been raised when she failed to turn up for work on Monday.
Police said that Ms Kilkenny’s sister found her at the house on the Cornacully Road between Belcoo and Garrison.
Joseph Dolan (28), of no fixed address, appeared at Dungannon Magistrates Court yesterday.
He had been charged with the murder of Ms Kilkenny on Thursday by police.
The accused was brought handcuffed into the dock wearing a grey round-neck jumper and light trousers and sat with his head bowed throughout proceedings.
A man sitting in the public gallery wept and was comforted by others during the short hearing before District Judge John Meehan.
A detective sergeant told the court he believed he could connect the accused with the charge.
No application for bail was made.
Dolan was remanded in custody. He is set to appear before Enniskillen Court on December 10.
In a statement issued earlier this week, Ms Kilkenny’s family said they were coming “to terms with the devastating loss of our beautiful, vibrant daughter, sister, aunt and friend”.
“Our time will be spent remembering Pauline for the incredible personality she was and feeling so grateful to have lived her life with her,” they said in the statement released by the PSNI.
A 26-year-old woman who was arrested by police officers in connection with the incident was released unconditionally on Thursday.
