Woman who killed daughter may face criminal charges

Cork Coroner’s Court heard that charges are being considered against May Prendergast, who has been receiving specialist medical attention in a Cork psychiatric hospital since her daughter, Jessica Prendergast’s death last July.

Jessica Prendergast’s body was found in a pool of blood in the hall of the rented house on the Old Commons Road, in Blackpool, Cork, on July 27, 2006, after May Prendergast walked into a local taxi office carrying her one-year-old grandson Jamie Lee.
