Man Accused Of Murdering His Mother In The Midlands Sent Forward For Trial

Thursday, 12 June 2025 07:51

Mirjana Pap's body was discovered in a bogland at the end of December last year.

The man accused of murdering his mother in her midlands home has been sent forward for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

32 year old Nebojsa Pap of Beechville, Athlone, appeared at Athlone District Court charged with the murder of his mother, Mirjana Pap, of the same address, on December 28, 2024.

Mr Pap was served with a book of evidence which included one charge of murder and one charge of producing an article capable of inflicting serious injury, namely an axe, in the course of the attack, which allegedly took place at the victim’s Athlone home.

The accused successfully applied for legal aid, while being warned he was obliged to inform the state of any alibi evidence on which he intended to rely within 14 days.

Ms Pap, a 58-year-old widow and mother of three, was originally from Croatia and a long term resident of Athlone.

Her body was discovered on a bogland at Curraghaleen, Roscommon, on the 30th December after she had been reported missing two days earlier.

Her son, Mr Pap, was arrested on January 3rd and charged with the murder of Ms Pap in her Beechville, Athlone home on December 28th.
