Man accused of murdering Anne Shortall appears in court
A 38-year-old Wicklow man has appeared at Bray District court today charged with the murder of Anne Shortall.
The 47-year-old mother-of-three had been missing since Good Friday.
Roy Webster, of Ashbre, Killoughter, who wore a Leinster tracksuit and hooded top, remained silent during the five-minute hearing.
Detective Sergeant Fergus O'Brien gave evidence that Webster made no reply after caution when charged at Wicklow Garda Station at 10.15pm last night.
Roy Webster's solicitor Dermot Hickey asked that his client be psychologically assessed while in prison, a request granted by the judge.
A statement of means was also submitted.
Judge David Kennedy remanded the 38-year-old in custody until his next court appearance at Cloverhill District Court next Thursday.
He was then brought out by gardaí from the court to a waiting car.
