Thomas Dooley (41), of Bay 10, the Halting Site, Carrigrohane Road, Cork, was brought before a special sitting of Kenmare District Court on Saturday in relation to the killing of his first cousin.
The accused is charged with the murder of Mr Dooley, who was also his brother-in-law, at Rath Cemetery, Tralee, on October 5th.
Det Sgt Ernie Henderson of Tralee Garda station said the accused replied “no comment” when the charge was put to him.
The deceased man’s brother, Patrick Dooley, has also been charged with the murder.
The 35 year old, of Arbutus Grove, Killarney, was charged at Kenmare District Court on Friday and remanded in custody to appear at Tralee District Court on Wednesday.
The court heard that Patrick Dooley replied to the charge: “I didn’t harm my brother at all in any way — that is all I have to say.”
