Mother-of-two on British murder charge left Ireland without telling family

A MOTHER of two from north Cork has appeared in court in England accused of stabbing a 54-year-old man to death.

Eriksson, aged 40, was said to have jumped from a bridge above the A50 roadway following the alleged murder.

She denies murdering Mr Hollinshead, whose body was found behind his house in Duke Street near the town of Fenton on May 20 last year.
