Woman who left family in Mallow pleads guilty to stabbing

A WOMAN who stabbed a man to death before hitting herself on the head with a hammer and jumping off a road bridge pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a British court yesterday.

The woman, who left her husband and two young children without any explanation ended up, days later, causing chaos on a British motorway before stabbing a Good Samaritan to death.

Sabina Eriksson, 41, had lived in Mallow, Co Cork, for a number of years before inexplicably taking off one morning in early May 2008. She hit the headlines in Britain a few days later when she ran three times in front of traffic on the busy M6 motorway in North Staffordshire.
