A 31-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Mary Ward in Belfast over two weeks ago.
The body of the 22-year-old mother of one was discovered at her home on Melrose Street in Belfast on the 1st of October.
Police believed she had been killed the week before.
Ahmed Abdirahman, of Kinlay House, Dame Street, Dublin 2, appeared before Dublin District Court this morning.
He is charged with murdering Ms Ward at Melrose Street in Belfast on 25 September.
Garda Sergeant James King from the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.
He told the court Mr Abdirahman was charged with the offence of murder at Kevin Street Garda Station last night.
Garda Sgt King said when the charge was put to him under caution Mr Abdirahman replied: "not guilty".
The District Court does not have jurisdiction to consider bail in a murder case, which requires an application in the High Court.
Solicitor for the accused, Wayne Kenny, told the judge a bail application would be made in the High Court "as soon as possible".
A legal aid application was made and granted.
Judge William Aylmer remanded the accused in custody to Cloverhill Prison to appear before court again on 18 October via videolink.

Cunt should never see the light of day again
Wicked man, glad to see gone are the days of border hopping amnesty too
Question. Shouldn’t he have been extradited to Belfast to face a judge there?
Must be a tough time to be a bigot. You’ve got your (I’m assuming with the name Ahmed) Muslim immigrant who has killed a woman, but then that woman turns out to be from the traveller community.
Conflicted wouldn’t cover it. I’m gonna go out on a limb though and say there’ll be no mass protests or demonstrations about this because it’s simply too hard to decide which one you hate the most.
That’s a cracking addition to the country.
We’ve no shortage of our own nutcases, makes sense to welcome more in.
refugees welcome?
Dirty wee scrote was probably put up in one of those plush hotels and given all sorts of money before doing this. Rat 🐀
Thanks news man.
>Ahmed Abdirahman
Ahhh yes
Happy to see he has been caught up with. Now, let’s hope for a lengthy sentence if he is found guilty.
What a piece of shit!
Kinlay House is a hostel which is listed as permanently closed…..
Interestingly, google also suggests that one of the men who was in court for the November riots was based here.
Assume it’s some sort of halfway house?
