A woman and a teenage girl have appeared at Nenagh District Court charged with the murder of 29-year-old Scarlett Faulkner.
The new charges were brought after directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The 17-year-old girl and the 40-year-old woman appeared before the court this morning, where they were each charged with the murder of Ms Faulkner.
The charges relate to the death of the mother of one following an alleged assault on the R494 at Birdhill, Co Tipperary, on 21 March.
Ms Faulkner died in hospital three weeks later.
The teenager had previously been charged with assault causing serious harm, but that charge was withdrawn.
The woman had faced charges including violent disorder and endangerment, which were also withdrawn.
The woman has now been charged with murder and two counts of burglary.
Detective Garda Colum Godfrey gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution of the woman.
Detective Garda Séamas Kelly gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution of the teenage girl.
He said the girl made no reply when charged with murder.
The DPP has directed that the case will now go to the Central Criminal Court.
The book of evidence is due to be served at Nenagh District Court on 23 July.
Both defendants were remanded in custody to appear at Nenagh District Court via video link on Friday, 17 July.
A psychological report has been prepared for the teenage girl and the judge directed it be given to the prosecution.
Solicitors were present, but neither of the defendants had formal representation due to the dispute with solicitors and the Department of Justice.
The solicitors were asked by the judge to speak to the defendants as a courtesy.
