A woman has appeared in court charged with the murder of her 2-year-old son in south Dublin.
Hazel Waters of Ridge Hall, Ballybrack is accused of killing Hassan Khan at their home two days ago.
She was brought into court wearing dark clothing and a black coat, she kept her head bowed during her short court appearance.
The 46-year-old is charged with the murder of her 2-year-old son Hassan Khan.
The toddler's body was found in their apartment at Ridge Hall in Ballybrack on Thursday afternoon.
A post mortem took place yesterday. The results of which haven't been made known but it's believed he was stabbed.
Hassan was the subject of a CRI alert just two months ago and questions are now being asked of the support services he received following his safe return.
The court heard that Hazel Waters doesn't want to see a psychiatrist but her solicitor feels it would be appropriate for her to be assessed.
She was then remanded in custody for a week.
