A 26 year old man has been charged with the killings of a mother and daughter in Killorglin.
The bodies of 28 year old Jolanta Lubiene and 8 year old Enrika were found in their home in Langford Downs on the evening of June 16th.
Both had been stabbed to death.
Aurimas Andruska of 7 Ard moniel Heights, Killorglin was brought before a special sitting of Killarney District Court this evening.
Detective Sergeant John Kelly told the court that at half past 6 this evening the accused was arrested at School Road, Sunhill, Killorglin and brought to Killarney Garda Station.
Around a quarter to 8 he was charged with the murder of Jolanta Lubiene to which he replied – “I didn’t kill, I can only tell”.
He was also charged with the unlawful killing of Enrika Lubyte to which he replied – “I will tell you exactly the same”.
Legal aid was granted to solicitor Peter Malone.
Mr Andruska was remanded in custody to Cork prison by Judge James O’Connor who ordered him to reappear at Killarney District Court next Tuesday.
Jolanta’s husband, Marius, sister, Kristina and brother in law Viadas were in court.
