Anthony Locke was remanded in custody after being charged with impeding the investigation into a murder, following a court appearance on 13 September 2012. The court was told that the victim’s body had been hidden in a wardrobe at a flat on Prussia Street, Dublin.

Locke, described as being of no fixed abode, was accused of cleaning up the murder scene and concealing the body with plastic and sellotape. He was due to appear before Cloverhill District Court on 18 September; gardaí opposed bail over flight-risk and witness-intimidation concerns, while more serious charges remained possible pending technical examinations.
