The accused, 35-year-old Ali Sohrabi of no fixed address, replied “no” when the murder charge was put to him by garda\u00ed (Irish police) on Saturday evening, Galway District Court was told. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Manojan’s body was found near an International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centre – a unit which houses people seeking asylum in the Republic of Ireland. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
