A woman accused of murdering a taxi driver last year in Blanchardstown told gardaí that the deceased pointed a gun at her and her boyfriend in a row over drug money.

The jury in the trial of a man and woman accused of murdering a taxi driver who was killed in a frenzied knife attack last year in north Dublin was sent away today in order to allow legal argument in its absence.

Gardaí are appealing for a couple being sought in connection with the murder of a taxi driver to come forward voluntarily.
