Victim tried to get barring order, court hears

A Jamaican woman allegedly bludgeoned to death with a lump hammer by her Nigerian husband was advised to get a barring order on the day she died, a solicitor has told the Central Criminal Court today.

Mary O’Reilly of FH O’Reilly solicitors was giving evidence in the trial of Goodwill Udechukwu (aged 32) with a previous address at Royal Canal View, Royal Canal Bank, Phibsboro who denies the murder of mother-of-two Natasha Gray (aged 25) at the same address on February 18, 2003.
