Mother weeps as she faces trial for murder of son, 2

A Dublin woman accused of the murder of her two-year-old son has been returned for trial to the Central Criminal Court.

Hazel Waters, 46, of Ridge Hall, Ballybrack, was served with a book of evidence by Det Sergeant Joe O’Hara when she appeared at Dublin District Court yesterday.

Dressed in a dark buttoned-up jacket, black trousers and a pink headscarf, she wept as Judge Michael Walsh was told the Director of Public Prosecutions has consented to her being returned for trial to the Central Criminal Court.
