Man accused of murdering wife at their home in Wilton remanded in custody

THE 41-year-old man accused of murdering his wife at their home in Wilton on July 14 has been remanded in custody until November 8.

Judge Olann Kelleher adjourned the case for four weeks on the application of Sergeant Geraróid Davis at Cork District Court.

Defence solicitor Deirdre Wilson said there was consent to a four-week adjournment.

Regin Parithapara Rajan appeared again at Cork District Court by video link from Cork Prison. The defendant is charged with the murder of Deepa Paruthiyezhuth Dinamani, aged 38, at their home at Cardinal Court, Wilton, Cork, on July 14, contrary to common law.

When Det Gda Alan Johnson arrested and charged him with the murder, Mr Rajan made no reply.

There was a previous defence request for Mr Rajan to receive all appropriate medical attention while in prison, in particular any psychiatric attention he might need, as he suffered from depression. The judge was also told there was no need for an interpreter as Mr Rajan had good English.

The deceased, Ms Dinamani, a native of Kerala in southwest India, was a chartered accountant and moved with her husband and young son to Cork to take up a position as a fund manager with a financial services company, Alter Domus Fund Services, based at Cork Airport Business Park.
