Mother was killed for money, court hears

A 54-year-old loan company agent was killed for the money she was due to lodge in the bank, a murder trial jury at the Central Criminal Court heard today.

Opening the prosecution case, Mr Sean Gillane BL told the jury that Mary ‘Mamie’ Walsh had sustained 9 head injuries that caused significant damage to her skull and brain. She was also found with a piece of rope around her neck, which also contributed to her death.
