Woman appears in court charged with murder of man in Newry

A woman has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 40-year-old man in Newry.

Zivile Geringiene, 50, of no fixed abode, appeared in the dock at Armagh Magistrates’ Court, sitting in Newry Courthouse on Tuesday.

She was charged with the murder of Igors Gavrilovs, the offence aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse.

Geringiene spoke to the court through a Lithuanian interpreter to say she understood the charge.

There was no application for bail and she was remanded in custody.

District Judge Anne Marshall said the case will be mentioned again on July 23.

Police have also made a new appeal for information about the death of Mr Gavrilovs in Newry.

PSNI Detective Inspector Sean Armstrong said: “A murder investigation was launched after a report was received that a man had sustained a serious injury in the Fisher Park area of the city.

“Before being taken to hospital, Igors received medical treatment at the scene by emergency services, but sadly he later died from his injuries.

“I would ask anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact detectives on 101. Please quote reference 721 28/06/25.”
