An 18-year-old man was yesterday remanded in continuing custody, charged with the murder of a teenage girl in Cork at the weekend.
Mr Jonathon Kepple, with an address at Rainsborough Ave, Deptford, London, is charged with the murder of Rachel Sandeman on waste ground off Nutley Road in Mahon on February 5th.
Insp. Flor Horan applied for a two-week remand in custody for the defendant, but his solicitor, Mr Frank Buttimer, asked Judge Uinsinn MacGruairc to put the matter back for just one.
Judge MacGruairc agreed and remanded Mr Kepple in continuing custody to Cork District Court on February 16th.
