A garda told the High Court how he was devastated when he was blamed for allegedly having information that indicated a risk to the life of Latvian woman Baiba Saulite who was later murdered.

THE violent shooting of Baiba Saulite was a “callous and brutal murder” which had left her two children without the “love and protection of a mother,” a coroner has said.

An inquest into the death of a mother-of-two gunned down in her Dublin home was today adjourned for the state to consider whether to bring charges over the killing.

Attempts by murdered mother Baiba Saulite’s family to take her two young children back to her native Latvia are being thwarted by her estranged partner, it was claimed today.
