A St. John’s man charged with murder in the death of a woman two days after Christmas returns to court today.
20-year-old David Quirke faces a single charge of second-degree murder in the death of 42-year-old Rayna Dove.
Early on December 27, police were called to a home on Cookstown Road where they found Quirke and the victim, who had reportedly been stabbed.
She died at the scene.
Quirke has been in custody at the Bishop’s Falls correctional centre since then.
He was scheduled to apply for judicial interim release, or bail, last week, but the matter did not proceed.
Today’s appearance could shed light on that, and see Quirke enter a plea to the murder charge.
