A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of mother-of-two Amy Doherty in Londonderry.
Connor McNamee, 30, of Summer Meadow Mews in Derry, was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon, a kitchen knife, and possession of a class A controlled drug, cocaine.
Court papers said the murder charge was aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse.
He appeared at Londonderry Magistrates’ Court on Friday via videolink.
There was no application for bail and he was remanded in custody until April 23.
Police launched a murder investigation after officers were called to a property in the Summer Meadows Mews area of Derry on Saturday and found 28-year-old Ms Doherty badly injured.
She was taken to hospital where she later died.
Ms Doherty’s funeral took place on Thursday.
A vigil in her memory will take place later on Friday in Derry.
