Elderly woman thought accused was suicidal

An elderly woman who called to the house of a 30-year-old Waterford woman shortly after she had strangled and suffocated her eight-year-old son said she thought the mother of three was going to "do away with herself".

Mrs Maria Ramshaw was continuing her cross-examination at the Central Criminal Court in the trial of Ms Jacqueline Costello, formerly of Woodlawn Grove, Waterford.
