A man aged in his 30s is to appear before Kilkenny District Court this morning charged in connection with the murder of Siobhán Stapleton (51).
The mother of five died after she sustaining serious head injuries at her home outside Thomastown, Co Kilkenny, last Friday.
A man was arrested shortly after the funeral of Ms Stapleton on Tuesday afternoon in Thomastown.
More than one thousand mourners attended her funeral at St Kieran's Church in Tullaherin with mourners led by her husband Peter, her son Niall and daughters Deirdre, Ciara, Gráinne and Sinéad.
