The prosecution in the upcoming trial of a US woman charged with killing her Irish husband has called on the court to withhold interviews with the man’s children from the jury.

Lawyers for a US woman who, along with her father is accused of murdering her Irish husband, have moved to block prosecutors from submitting an interview with the dead man’s son as trial evidence, writes Joe Leogue.

The woman accused of killing her husband, Limerick man Jason Corbett, has been ordered to return items she had taken from their US home after she was charged with the crime.

The family of Jason Corbett, the Limerick man who died in what police describe as a “domestic disturbance” in his home in the US, said last night they have now decided to repatriate his body as soon as possible.

The foreign affairs minister was last night urged to intervene in a custody battle involving two Limerick children. They are in the care of a woman in the US who has been questioned by police about a head wound which claimed the life of their father.
