The husband of a woman found dead in her west Dublin home earlier this month has been charged with her murder. William Eagers (60) was charged on Wednesday with the murder of Jean Eagers (57), and with production of a samurai sword while committing the offence in the course of a dispute. The defendant appeared before Judge Michael Walsh during an evening sitting of Dublin District Court. Judge Walsh acceded to defence solicitor Fiona Brennan’s request that her client would be remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court next Tuesday. She asked the court to order that the defendant would get appropriate medical attention and supervision in custody.
