Brian Nnamdi Ogbo of Garrydhu Drive, Kilmoney Road, Carrigaline was previously charged with the manslaughter of Stella Nnamdi.
Judge Mary Dorgan heard the DPP has directed a trial on indictment at Cork Circuit Criminal Court and also will also consent to a plea of guilty being entered by the accused if that arises.
82-year-old Stella Nnamdi died at Cork University Hospital on the 25th of February, two days after she was allegedly dragged down the stairs of her home in Carrigaline and pushed out the front door.
The court previously heard Ogbo’s mother phoned Gardaí on Sunday the 23rd of February to say her son was attacking her and her mother and had allegedly produced a knife during the incident.
Sgt Gearoid Davis applied for the case to be sent forward to the next sessions of Cork Circuit Criminal Court which begin on the 28th of October.
