Stalgis appeared in the dock of the court and spoke only to confirm his name and enter the guilty plea.

A trial will begin on October 22 and is expected to last around five days.

No application for bail was made and Stalgis was remanded in custody.

Police responded to a call raising concerns for the welfare of a couple at a house on Berkeley Mount just after 7.30pm on Monday. They broke down the front door and found Ms Conoby dead inside the property. Berkeley Mount was cordoned off by police while investigations took place.
