A 35 year old pregnant woman is due back in court next week after being charged with the murder of 2-year old Santina Cawley in Cork on July 5th.

Karen Harrington – with an address at Elderwood Park, Boreenmanna Road, – appeared before a special sitting of Cork District Court this morning.

After being charged and cautioned – she replied “I didn’t murder no one”.

The court heard a bail application will be dealt with in the High Court and the case was adjourned for a week.

Members of Santina Cawley’s family – including her mother – were in court for today’s hearing.
