Woman in court over girl, 6, abduction death case
A woman appeared in court today in connection with the abduction of a six-year-old girl believed to have been shot dead by her father before he killed himself in a house at Clonmel, Co Tipperary, in August last year.
Regina Nelligan, 33, was charged at a District Court in Tallow, Co Waterford, with intentionally detaining Deirdre Crowley to remove her from the home of her mother in Cork, in December, 1999.
Deirdre was missing for 18-months before she was found with her father in Clonmel.
They were discovered dead in a rented house after gunfire was heard.
Nelligan, from Fermoy, Co Cork, was arrested by arrangement by police outside the courthouse today.
She was remanded on bail to appear in court again on July 23.
