Murder trial told of abortion ‘price list’

Suspected murder victim Sandra Collins would have paid a total of £295 sterling had she gone ahead with her plans to terminate her pregnancy in Britain, it emerged yesterday.

Michael Nevill, associate director of nursing at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, gave evidence about the ‘price list’ for terminations in December 2000 around the time the 29-year-old Mayo woman disappeared.

The price charged for an assessment was £50 while the charge for terminating an early pregnancy was £245 — a total of £295.
