Young mother convicted of manslaughter

A young woman who stabbed a teenage mother-of-two to death, with a knife she had asked her child minder to bring to the scene, has been convicted by a jury of manslaughter.

21-year-old Kelly Noble from Seaview in Laytown had denied the murder of Emma McLoughlin outside Pat’s supermarket in Laytown Co Meath on June 2nd last year, but was convicted by a unanimous verdict of her manslaughter after the jury deliberated for just over four and a half hours over two days at the Central Criminal Court.
