Expert: Woman was not insane when she stabbed husband 60 times

A woman accused of murdering her husband by stabbing him over 60 times was not insane at the time of the killing, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

Yesterday, the defence called a psychiatrist to give evidence at the trial of Tanya Doyle, who admits killing Paul Byrne but denies murdering him.

Ms Doyle, aged 40, of Pairc Gleann Trasna, Aylesbury, Tallaght, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Byrne, aged 48, at that address on Sept 4, 2009.
