Woman stabbed sleeping friend

Judge puts off sentencing for year in ‘perplexing, worrying’ case

A bizarre knife attack saw a woman with no criminal record stab her sleeping friend in the neck after she had fallen asleep while sitting at a kitchen table in the early hours of the morning.

Judge Brian O’Callaghan said yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court: “It is a bit perplexing. Not only is it perplexing but it is worrying.”
