A Kilkenny woman (47) has been charged with the murder of her daughter in November last year.
Dr Lynn Hutchinson, a psychiatrist from Killure, Gowran, Co Kilkenny, was charged with murdering Ciara (16) at Dún Laoghaire District Court this morning.
The daughter was found on the morning of Sunday, November 26th, in the bath at her home near Goresbridge, Co Kilkenny.
Her mother was found in "a collapsed state" and taken to St Luke's Hospital in Kilkenny and was then transferred to St Patrick's Hospital in Dublin.
The two were discovered in the house by Dr Hutchinson's husband, Gerard Gibbs, and Gearóid (14), who had been away overnight and returned to the house on the Sunday morning.
Dr Hutchinson did not speak in court and was remanded in custody until May 29th when she will appear before Justice Clare Leonard.
