Furlong family to return home today
The family of murdered Irish woman Nicola Furlong return home to Ireland today, following a preliminary court hearing over her death in Japan this week.
A 19-year-old American man, who is described as a professional musician, is to face trial as an adult in the country, for the killing of the Wexford student in May.
A person under the age of 20 is usually a juvenile under Japanese law, but on Friday the case was sent back to the prosecutors, meaning the accused will face trial as an adult.
Nicola, 21, from Curracloe, was studying in Japan when she was found dead at a Tokyo hotel in May after attending a concert in the city.
