Detective Garda Paul Hayes told Judge Kevin Staunton at Gorey District Court that he arrested Adrian Zelek at Westbury Woods at 9.45pm on Thursday evening.
He told the court emergency services were called to the address where they found Mr Gladyszewski, who had been fatally stabbed.
Det Hayes said he charged Mr Zelek with all of the above offences at Enniscorthy Garda Station earlier in the day yesterday and that the accused made no reply when charged.
Solicitor for the accused Marie Murphy asked for a psychological assessment for her client.
Judge Staunton requested psychological and medical assessments for Adrian Zelek and granted legal aid.
The judge said as the District Court cannot grant bail on a murder charge he would remand Adrian Zelek to appear before Gorey District Court next Thursday.
