Woman pleads guilty to bigamy charge

A Latvian woman living in Limerick married a Pakistani man — despite being already married, a court heard yesterday.

Both Ivita Visnevska’s marriages were conducted at the civil registry office in St Camillus Hospital, Limerick, and she voluntarily returned from London yesterday to plead guilty to a charge of bigamy.

Detective Garda Oliver Foley, of Henry St, told Limerick Circuit Court the illegal marriage was not a sham and Ms Visnevska, aged 34, did not do it for financial gain.
