Murder victim ‘not driven by greed’

AN ambitious young woman stabbed to death by her older lover was not driven by greed, her former boyfriend told a court yesterday.

Christopher Newman, aged 62, repeatedly knifed Georgina Eager, aged 28, in her Dublin bedroom, took €1,200 from her account, then fled to London, it is said.

She was about to leave “possessive” Newman when he attacked her in the flat next door to his clinic in St Peter’s Road, Walkinstown, leaving the murder weapon in her neck.
