Kseniia Vasylenko, with an address Cork Airport Hotel, was charged over death of father of three
A 43-year-old woman has been remanded in custody after she was charged in connection with the death of a father of three who was found in an unresponsive state lying in the car park of a Cork hotel at the weekend.
He said gardai were objecting to bail on the grounds of the seriousness of the charge, the strength of the evidence against Ms Vasylenko and the fear that she would flee the country if granted bail because of the likely penalty upon conviction, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in jail.Ireland were fortunate to escape a card against Scotland
Det Gda Brennan said gardai feared that she would flee the jurisdiction as she had no ties here after coming to Ireland in December 2022 after fleeing war torn Ukraine with her five-year-old son to join her mother who had already come to Cork and was staying at the Cork Airport Hotel. She confirmed to Mr Buttimer that she would surrender her own passport and that of her five year old son while her 62-year-old mother would also surrender her passport as means of guaranteeing that they would not seek to leave Ireland if the court granted her bail.
“I do not want my son to spend all his time in a bomb shelter because missiles are not just being fired outside our city, they are being fired into our city,” said Ms Vasylenko, adding that she did not believe it would be possible for her to flee Ireland if she surrendered her passport.
