Welsh woman has murder sentence backdated

A Welsh woman who murdered a Leitrim man by stabbing him 13 times and then scalding him with boiling water, had her life sentence backdated by 18 months today to allow her time already served to be taken into consideration by the prison parole board.

Christina Williams, aged 25, was last month convicted of the murder of Mr Andrew Foley, aged 54, at his flat on Nelson Street on May 7 2002.
