A 31-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of his former partner Anna Finnegan.
The mother-of-two was stabbed to death in Clonsilla in Dublin on Friday night.
Vesel Jahiri, who is originally from Kosovo but has an address at Lohunda Crescent in Dublin, was brought from Blanchardstown Garda Station to the local district court this morning.
A detective told the court that he replied "that's not true" when the murder charge was put to him.
The 25-year-old woman died after she was attacked and stabbed several times at her home in Allendale Glen in Clonsilla.
She was then driven from the house and left outside the Emergency Department at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where she died a short time later.
Mr Jahiri, who is the father of Ms Finnegan's two young children, was remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court next Thursday.
The judge directed that Mr Jahiri receive appropriate medical care and he was granted free legal aid.
Ms Finnegan's brother Karl was injured in the attack.
