Woman jailed for killing Irish boyfriend

A woman who fatally shot her Irish boyfriend in the US has been sentenced to a year in county jail in Florida.

Wendy Hanks, 33, shot Dubliner Darren Haverty multiple times during a violent fight in a cabin in a remote area in the central part of the state.

Mr Haverty, a 39-year-old father of an infant daughter, originally from Greenhills in Dublin, was found dead at the scene six miles from the nearest main road and more than a dozen from the closest sizeable town.
