Husband of Natalia Karaczyn charged with her murder



The husband of Natalia Karaczyn has appeared in court charged with her murder.

32-year-old Rafal Karaczyn appeared at Sligo District Court this morning.

Natalia Karaczyn’s body was discovered in the Holywell area on Tuesday following two days of searches.

The 32-year-old accused sat with his head in his hands and looked visibly upset during the hearing.

Before the hearing got underway, the accused was consoled by the victims sister, who was sitting close to the dock.

Defending barrister Keith O’Grady indicated to the court that the victims family were in court to support the accused.

It was recommended that he be placed on suicide watch, which the judge agreed to.

The court was also told that Rafal Karaczyn was first arrested on Sunday evening and then released without charge on Tuesday morning.

But three hours later that morning he presented himself voluntarily at the station to help Gardai with their enquiries.

Rafal Karaczyn was remanded in custody and will appear in Harristown District Court tomorrow morning at 10:30am.
