An 85-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with murdering an 81-year-old woman in Co Down.
Jim Moore, of Clandeboye Place, Bangor, appeared at Newtownards Magistrates' Court accused of the murder of Patricia "Patsy" Aust.
Ms Aust's body was discovered at a house in the Hawthorne Court area of Bangor on Sunday.
Mr Moore made a brief appearance before District Judge Francis Rafferty.
He spoke twice during the hearing - to confirm his name and to confirm that he understood the charge.
A detective inspector told the court he could connect the accused to the charge.
