Mother ‘offered to take blame’

THE girlfriend of Kenyan murder victim Farah Swaleh Noor cleaned up the crime scene to protect her two daughters, who had killed him, the Central Criminal Court heard yesterday.

The court also heard that she offered to take the blame for her boyfriend’s death.

Kathleen Mulhall, 53, St Mary’s Park, Carlow, pleaded guilty in February to helping to clean up the crime scene in order to conceal evidence and prevent the apprehension of her daughters, knowing that Mr Noor had been murdered at Richmond Cottages, Ballybough, on March 21, 2005.
