Woman quizzed on death is released into psychiatric care

The 51-year-old woman quizzed in relation to the death of an elderly widower was last night released to her family on condition she be admitted into a secure psychiatric hospital.

A Garda spokesman said there would be no immediate charges, as a file was being prepared for the DPP.

The woman had been detained at Enniscorthy Garda Station since Sunday night in connection with the death of Walter Plunkett, of Ballyrea, Ballyedmond, Gorey, Co Wexford, on Sunday afternoon.
