A man has been charged with the murder of Catherine Henry, in County Louth last month.

The 62 year old was found dead at her home on Bridge Street, Dundalk, on Wednesday 24th of May.

26 year old Luke Donnelly of 'no fixed abode' appeared at a special sitting of Dundalk District Court overnight, and was remanded in custody to Cloverhill Prison in Dublin.

He will appear before the court again, via video link, next Wednesday.

She had been assaulted and a post-mortem examination was carried out to determine the cause of her death. 

There was a full technical examination which Gardaí hope has yielded forensic evidence that will help to link the killer to the crime. 

Gardaí have also gathered footage from local CCTV systems as they seek to establish who called to the property in the period before Ms Henry was attacked.
