Murderer knew man couldn’t swim

A 29-year-old woman has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering the man who loved her by driving him into a deep harbour, where he drowned.

Murderer knew man couldn’t swim

Marta Herda was a good swimmer and knew her passenger could not swim, when she drove her Volkswagen Passat through the crash barriers at South Quay, Arklow shortly before 6am on March 26, 2013.

She escaped through the driver’s window but her colleague’s body was found on a nearby beach later that day. A postmortem found that 31-year-old Csaba Orsos died from drowning and not from injuries related to the crash.
